This is also my experience.

IBO was the least Borland-like of the component sets I tested, but was
the most reliable and had the fastest performance.

SQLExpress failed miserably against firebird - it was unable to even
complete any but the first test case. There appears to be a bad pointer
or buffer definition in their interbase connectivity library somewhere.
It had the same issues with the version of interbase it was shipped
with.

IBX was Borland like enough, but it was sluggish and subject to
unpredictable memory fault exceptions (maybe a bad pointer?).

On the basis of my testing, I actually decided to migrate my efforts to
Java and abandon the Delphi platform for that particular project. The
jdbc connectivity tools tended to be more reliable without much
sacrifice of performance.
