Charts - Jepps or ICAO?

Which charts do people prefer for Europe? Some - like PhilD - say Jeppersens are clearest, and the same for all countries which is nice. But other people say they don't have enough detail for VFR map and compass type flying...especially if you're lost! The ICAO ones for France have loads of detail...but I can't follow them easily, yet, anyway! But I compared the Jepp one for the Scottish Highlands with the UK one, and was glad I wasn't using it to fly with; they missed off several villages, and in an area like that, villages are useful. So...what do you all think?
