I only use dput-ng, but because of the extra checks that has already saved me from performing a wrong upload; the check in question is that the Distribution: field in the *.changes file matches the distribution in debian/changelog. I don't know which checks in dput-ng fail for you (for uploads that were OK dput-ng always worked for me), but the plausibility checks are a large reason why I really wouldn't want to switch to dput at the current time. Also, I remember vaguely that when I first started uploading, dput didn't support a specific setting in dputrc that dput-ng did (I don't remember which one though), so I never actually used dput because of that. (Sorry, but it's been a while and I really don't remember what precisely that was, and maybe that has already been fixed in the mean time.) That said: I personally don't really care about the underlying implementation - so I'll just use the one which I consider to be better - and at the moment that would be dput-ng, but that could easily change.
