Neither. Aspire PSU's are just junk and that Antec PSU isn't really that good. The Fortron AX500-A is a better PSU and around the same price at actbuy.

Yes, it is just fine, but why get "just fine" when you can get a better PSU for the same? That Antec is a usable supply for moderately hungry systems, but the Fortron is better.

Fortron is the best power supply maker out there, next to Seasonic and pc power and cooling. It is decently priced and Fortron actually makes their own psus, unlike other companies.
The top pc makers use Fortrons or Sparkles, which are the same companies, in their systems.
That is the reason why people with 250W power supplies in thier Dells can run a 6800GT or Ultra. Because they were made by Fortron/Sparkle.

Actually. People with ultra high end PC's use PC P & C's.. I haven't found a Fortron or Sparkle which could handle my server system yet.

Are you using that 850W PC P & C?
I don't think there is a power supply within $500 that can touch that one. 12a @ 115v :Q
But for regular high end pcs, a Fortron/Sparkle, Seasonic is the best way to go.

Sparkle FSP550-60PLG? Also remember Fortron/Sparkle are very conservative when it comes to specs.

Out of those two, Antec. Have you considered a high quality Seasonic for the same price?

It is also silent.

So? The Fortron mentioned by raildogg is still a more capable PSU for less money.
