For 4.6.2, Cocoa is best because of a bug in the Carbon code that breaks 
font rendering.  There was a thread here about this a while ago.

Other than the font issue, I've seen absolutely no difference between 
Cocoa and Carbon.  (I'm using a 32-bit Cocoa build of 4.6.2).  They both 
have the exact same bugs ;)
