I've been looking at different CSS frameworks. The two major players seem to be 960.gs and Blueprint.

My question is simple: what are the pros and cons to each, and which do you recommend? And are there other frameworks that I should consider instead?

Putting my question into context, I'm the designer on a site that's similar to StackOverflow, but with a general audience focus, rather than a specific technical one.
