Here in Wellington there are bulletin boards running on Unix boxes, PCs,
Vaxes, Amigas and Archimedes.  Searchlight runs 31.5% overall.

I think a sysop's software choice largely depends on what they have used.
With 31% of the systems running Searchlight here, a sysop is more likely
to pick that.  

Here the more popular packages are:

 Wildcat (PC)      3.7%  Kiwiboard (PC)    3.7%  PC-Board (PC)     3.7%
 ProBoard (PC)     3.7%  Spitfire (PC)     5.5%  RemoteAcc. (PC)   7.4%
 Waffle (PC/Unix) 11.1%  Maximus (PC)     12.9%  Searchlight (PC) 31.5%

Nobody runs WWIV (well, not now anyway).
