I've never used a HUD since I'm not very tech savvy and dont play enough to make it profitable . Also , I'm definitely not a fan of real time assistance . It's good to hear many sites now ban outside data trackers , and i hope they really have a way to ensure that happens .

I play on GG, so I use (and have experience only in) built-in SmartHUD there.
On the pros side, I could add:
- Everone uses the same and no other HUDs are allowed, so other players do not have any advantage here just because they can buy better HUD
- Except some stats, the HUD allows to make notes on players and I find it absolutely CRUCIAL
On the cons side:
- We cannot see the net result in this HUD (after rake). I understand it is GG policy to not to show clearly how high the rake is (and it is extremely high indeed) but because of it this HUD just cannot serve as sufficient info to track results - I use spreadsheet for this.
- I would love some more stats there
In general, using HUD is a must if you treat poker seriosuly. If you do not use it, you just stay behind others who do.

I initially bought DriveHUD and I really liked the basics of it. I didn't really get into anything too fancy, but then most of the sites wouldn't let you use an HUD so I just let my subscription run out and dont bother using one anymore.

if i was ever playing in large stake buy in tournaments, or high stakes cash games, yes id definitely invest in one of these and its just easier to compile all the data on everyone. but i see zero (less than that honestly) need to use one in lower stakes games.... why? because as long as you can use the notes functions (which i use a lot) you can keep copious notes on players and their tendencies and how they played certain hands.

I don't use these huds, because I don't play professionally, I play one table at a time, I've heard that it's much better when it's played on several tables, I can barely play on one table. Every time I try to play on Not and on the cell phone I always lose, I get all mixed up. I don't even think about using this tool
