I've done some Google and NinjaTrader Forum sleuthing to come up with what I hope is a comprehensive index to all things Genetic Optimizer for NinjaTrader. Please respond with other links if I have missed any or other comments and I'll try to keep this top post updated periodically.

=========================
NinjaTrader's 7 Built-in GO
=========================

Pros:
* Works with NT 7.0 out of the box

Various Threads I found:
Optimization methods (genetic/brute force) - NinjaTrader Support Forum
Genetic optimiser bug - B7 - NinjaTrader Support Forum
Genetic Optimizer Status, Doc - NinjaTrader Support Forum


=========================
MoGo
=========================

Pros:
* Optimization constraints can be defined independently of fitness function. For example something like: (2*Target) > Stop
And, as well, that the minimum number of trades for a valid optimization result could be given.


Cons:
* Not yet working for 7.0

=========================
Pete's GO
=========================

Pros:
* One of the first GO's written for NT platform as far as I know and was basis for PH Genetics, MoGo and possibly others.

Footnotes:
(1) Collect additional user-defined data on a per-trade basis. For example, I would love to collect volume data, indicator values, % price movements, etc. on the entry bar of a trade and show that data in the trades tab grid in the strategy analyzer results. That way, I could analyze volume, etc. on winning vs losing trades, etc.

Thanks for collecting this! IMHO it would be a nice idea to include a list of unique/special features of each optimizer. What I for one especially like about MoGo is that optimization constraints could be defined. For example something like: (2*Target) > Stop
And, as well, that the minimum number of trades for a valid optimization result could be given.
