Rollyo - Having created several Google Custom Search engines, I was familiar with the concept. They both seem to work fine. The nice thing about Google is that it's integrated with so many other apps. I also like the toolbar addition that Google has, letting you go to the site and add it to your CSE from there. The other nice thing is that Google's version allows you not to have ads for education searches.
I've used these quite a bit with middle school students. Although it makes it so they don't have to do nearly as much website evaluation, it helps keep them out of Google overload and gets them to better info.
