First of all, I believe it is very important to have a boot time erase option for sanitizing a disk that may be used for another purpose.

Ill add:
1) FREE!!! (though I have donated)
2) One of the few applications that implements Gutmann
3) One of the few applications that properly implements 7-pass DoD 5220.22M
4) Documentation that fully explains the implementation of each erasing protocol
5) Cluster tip erasing
6) Good...
