Which is the best attachment plugin for my situation?

I'm trying to decide which attachment plugin best suites the needs for my project. I have a model that I want to associate one or many attachments to. The content-type of the attachment will vary as well (pdf, jpeg, doc, zip), not just an image type. Thanks for any help!

Either paperclip or attachment_fu will serve you well.

I think paperclip is SOOO much easier to work with than attachment_fu. But if things get more complicated attachment_fu is very good too.

I Agree, Paperclip is just great. Ryan Bates made an excellent screencast on it. Railscasts #134 "Paperclip" (#134 Paperclip - RailsCasts)
