Nothing official, but I've just recently watched Eclipse's h.264 version and I must say the quality is certainly better than their Xvid version.
My verdict:
If you're looking for better image quality: Eclipse
If you're looking for better subs: Mahou
But having said that, allow me to clarify that the subs for Eclipse isnt bad, it's just that Mahou is slightly better, that's all.
Personally, I'm torn between the two. I'll decide which sub I'll stick to once episode 2 comes out and I've gotten another chance to evaluate both these subs.
It's a technical thing. h264, in the hands of a good encoder, will give you equal-quality images at a smaller size compared to XviD. So, for a given value of "good quality", you will have a smaller file with h264 than with XviD. Conversely, for a given value of "file size" or bitrate, you will have a better quality image with h264. I've long decided that Eclipse's h264 releases are worth keeping.My verdict:

Anyway, FSN looks pretty interesting to me. It doesn't have vampires like Tsukihime but it has a similar feel of seriousness which is slightly incongruent with the mainstream-ish artwork. I like that.
