I think Stimulsoft Reports is the best report engine available at this time. Just before I bought Stimulsoft Reports I investigated other engines (DevExpress - Xtrareport, ActiveReport, Crystal Reports) and decided that Stimulsoft Reports was the best. It's the best because:

1. It works;

2. The designer is intuitive, and easy to learn;

3. Allows for all kinds of datasources, especially custom classes, which I use a lot;

4. It is very flexible: regions, multiple databands, subreports, everything is here;

5. Good support, quick response, good handling of bugs.

The one thing I miss is good intellisense support while writing expressions and eventhandlers.

Good luck!
