If you need any flexibility at all, use Nant. I did a comparison and, while it was a long time ago, I seem to remember that control of the build process is largely hidden from the user. If you need specifics, I can probably dig up a summary.
One thing I seem to remember is that BuildIt prefers project references. They recommend that you have a master solution with ALL projects in it. This is not a good idea as VS.NET does not handle large numbers of projects in a single solution well. Also, if you have broken your solutions up for logical grouping reasons, references become a problem when developers get latest. Sure, there may be ways around these problems but I didn't spend time looking. It was evident to me that Nant was the superior product. Evan A.
