VS08 TFS unit tests against Gallio / MbUnit

I am looking into adding unit tests to work. I used to use MbUnit and I have a UT sample within Gallio. We are using VS08 which comes with its own test suite. What are the pros and cons of using the VS08 TFS UT versus Gallio? What's the general guideline on which framework to use?

Thank!

The unit test suite that ships with Visual Studio Team System is adequate, but I would say only use it if you are using a full blown TFS implementation and intend to do continuous integration builds using TFS. The only benefit I can see with the MS Unit Testing Unit is that it plays nicely with TFS builds and can provide decent reporting.



However, if you are only using Visual Studio and will be building CI assemblies using CruiseControl.NET or TeamCity, I would recommend using MbUnit or NUnit.Net. Overall, I think most open source unit testing units have comparable functionality, so it probably doesn't really matter which one to choose.
