ICE is pretty cool. The real issue is deciding how much you work you want to put into production versus post production. If you use a rig that suspends the camera over its nodal point (nodal ninja), many stitching options will work (we use Kolor's Autopano )
The real standard for this us PTGui
Photoshop also has good tools for blending panos

Was this of any help?

So there are a number of options - for folks shooting Canon DSLR there are is a fairly useful tool on the software CD called Photo Stitch. Between that and PhotoShop CS you can put together some very nice work.

It is a touch expensive but PTGui is now my go-to program for panoramas. It is amazing. It can't do much for parallax errors (I don't know of any program that can - garbage in garbage out) but it is amazing for anything else. Before I was using PTGui I used Hugin. It is free and very powerful, however, it is not user friendly unless you are a techie. I know enough to make it work but could not make use of most of the capabilities. If you use Photoshop there is a decent photo stitching capability built in. I have used it a bit and found it capable but not quite as powerful as the two previously mentioned programs.

I don't have either. But I got Splendiferous, Gorgeous, Wondrous photographs of the landscapes in Alaska....what with its gradations in mountains, Unbelievable clouds- fairly melding into snow.
