I bought ParticleCandy system for my game few days ago... like said here, demos were great and the whole ideology is very close to what we have at work... and having secondary effects is a BIG plus, it's so easy to make huge and gorgeus explosions among other things.
I do have a licence for Sswifts system too, but I still think that getting PC (Particle Candy) was in the end better choice for me. One main difference (in addition it being a single-surface system) was that PC is a true commercial product with proper website, support and development with free upgrades. It seems to get also updates quite regularly and is being developed according to the Blitz community wishes and needs... bit like gile[s], which rocks too.
[edit]
And PC has SOUNDS associated to the effect too, which is so cool... no need to set those up for yourself "manually" for every gooddamn explosion. :)
The author seems to prefer BlitzCoder, so many here might have missed his system:
