bootsplash or usplash

[L . V . Gandhi]

I am running debian etch.
Previously in sarge I used to run bootsplash with hiccups for progress bars.
I tried usplash in etch. I got gui only during shutdown not during boot.
I will be thankful if somebody, who used both, can throw somelight on
selecting among these two.
