If I recall, the bandwidth on the Intersil chip is much less that the Maxim
chip, whic I think is about 25MHz.  I guess it depends on the application,
much like other design issues.  I have used the Maxim chip with good
success.  The printed circuit layout is important.  Although I have
standardized on nothing less than 4 layers, I think you could even get by
with a one sided board if small packaging is not an issue.  Good luck.
