I currently use All In One SEO, but was thinking about switching to WordPress SEO. Heard some good comments and I like his other plugin – Clicky by Yoast.

Do you happen to know what happens if you switch from one SEO plug-in to another? I am tempted to change from All In One SEO like the previous commenter but what happens to the tags created on all the posts done with that plugin?
Presumably there isn’t an issue, but I have had permalink issues before when updating old posts on various blogs and don’t want to unwittingly cause a problem by changing to a different SEO plugin.

I haven’t had any problems myself, but your mileage may vary depending on how each plugin handles itself.
