There's a AV site that compares all the AV software out there and their perfomance under different criteria.

AVG and Avast have a ton of false positives. Avast has average scanning speed, AVG got Fast.
Viruses in my experience are extremely rare, you don't really need protection so long as you take basic precautions. I went through about 8 years without and did get a virus a couple of times, mostly through stupidity and being a bit naughty and downloading something I shoudln't lol.
So for me the most important thing is that the damn thing doesn't interfere with my day to day computer activities like slowing down my email.
