Julia, Synopsys has two almost unassailable market advantages with HSPICE:

*A lot of models are supplied only as encrypted HSPICE models.  If you 
don't have HSPICE you can't play.
*HSPICE is used for silicon sign-off with a number of fabs.

If either of the above issues are material to you, then the technical 
merits of one simulator versus another are moot.
