I have been comparing VNC and PcAnywhere for the last
week in LAN, WAN and WEB environments, and PcAnywhere
is far superior...at a cost. But, for occasional use, the VNC
would suffice. The one thing I really like is the browser
access...that is really nice, but the speed and update issues
outweigh that in our commercial application environment.
Also, PcAnywhere allows you to set up user accounts on
the host, which thus requires both the correct user AND
password to access the port, and also assigns levels of
access/control for each user. Essential for use on the WEB.

But on a private / home LAN for occasional use...VNC rules.
