Should Google Buy Intuit Or Freshbooks?

Nicholas Carr and Rob Hyndman are at odds over whether Google should acquire Intuit - maker of Quicken and QuickBooks - or new kid on the block, Freshbooks.

Google already has a partnership with Intuit, so that tends to make sense. Carr believes

Right now, it would be an ideal complement to Google Apps. Roll an accounting/payroll service into Google Apps, and you have a suite that literally covers all the software required by a whole lot of small businesses. And you have a strong base for moving up into the mid-market.Hyndman counters that Freshbook is more Google's style

Freshbooks

Either way, a move into the financial software space would be another reason for Steve Ballmer to take shots at them.

So, who do you think Google should acquire?
