Hi 1540,

As Lauderdale pointed out, what type of operation do you have? Also how many Aircraft? This will drive a price of course.
For your information there was a post covering Gulf Air and f:Wz, and the respective experience.
And as for a follow (self-evaluation) up it actually comes to the core of your Business what is your philosophy and what are you looking for in a FP system (Optimization Lido and f:Wz are the repective best on the market, or do you just want a flight plan forget optimization...then the others)?

All of them have thier respective pluses and minuses, one with full up automation to almost nothing.

As for a ranking again it is hard to do but this is what you can expect to see from the Sales guys:

Lido OC (From Lufthansa Systems...can be pricey)

f:Wz which you alread know about

Jepp (Cheap...lots of manual work)

EDS

Sabre (Ditto)

Navtech


Again search for threads covering f:Wz or also Lido OC which goes off into several areas, threads posts...but you will be back to core question and you will again have to answer what are you looking for in the software.
