No noticeable performance difference in the PPTP implementation, hardware however is a factor. Same goes for robustness.

PPTP is not secure, tunneled data is in a sense separate from other data on the IP network, but not encrypted. If you need security try an IPSEC implementation.

All three vendors? concentrator products can be configured to interoperate with some difficulty, the Microsoft VPN/DUN client can and normally is used to connect to solutions from these three vendors.
