here, are my thoughts, brief and in no particular order:

Gigs Calendar (v0.4.6)
- issues with timestamps posted to the future (but not with filter turned on)
- no multi-day events
- post created automatically

GigPress (v1.4.9)
- lots of setting (maybe too many)

Events Manager (v2.0rc2)
- not creating “real” WP posts (with post IDs)
- all event posts are on same page (eg: domain.com/events?events_id=1)

Events Calendar (v6.5.2.1)
- simple / good
- fills in actual post content

Events (v2.1.1)
- not creating “real” WP posts (with post IDs)

Event Calendar (v3.1.4)
- just adds dates and times to the edit posts screen

Calendar (v1.2.2)
- buggy (widget seems broken)
- not creating “real” WP posts (with post IDs)

Keep in mind, i’ve only tested these specific versions of each plugin. So, newer versions might include significant improvements over previous versions. Also, don’t take my word for it.. test them all out for yourself ;)
