For a long time I thought that I needed a 3 band preamp, until I got a Sadowsky: 2 band, boost only and the VTC. My favorite preamp.
I have two Auderes and no Aguilars. So comparison a bit tricky. After sales services with Audere is fantastic. The Audere pre-amps are top notch and the EQ is useable over the whole tonal range. The volume pot is non-linear so you don't get all the volume in the last turn of the knob. The battery checker is a nice feature, but overall the vol/blend and 3-band EQ work really well and I love them.
I'e got Auderes in a Fender Jaco Jazz fretless and a custom build Cliff Bordwell bass. In both cases I have used Nordstrand PUs.

I had Glenn at Bass Specialties install an Sadowsky on board preamp into my MTD JJ 5 and it made a tremendous tonal difference. The bottom is very focused and the highs are musical not brittle. The mids are set perfectly, so you cut through the mix.

BIG +1 to that.
I just put an ACG preamp (on of John East's designs) into my fretless bass.
It replaced a Bart NTBT.
I don't miss the Bart at all.
The ACG is clearer (set flat) and has so much more tonal flexibility.
Amazing preamp.
