Which is the best Imac antivirus protection, ClamXav, Sophos or Avast?

I have decided to not use the free Norton antivirus offerred by my ISP and would like your input as to the best between the following that I have seen noted in Apple discussions. ClamXav, Sophos or Avast. Want security and simplicity of interface and ease of use. I am not a tech person and need to keep it simple. Your input on this question will be greatly appreciated.

iMac 21.5/3.06/2x2GB/500GB, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

as for Kas on the mac not a firm believer in the product yet (still feels and functions as a secondary product line) in my humble opinion

As we speak there are several users in this forum complaining of Kernal Panics which clearly point to Kaspersky, furthering my opinion that they do not yet understand OS X sufficiently to recommend them to anybody. I was hoping they would have learned from their missteps with Flashback removal in the Spring, but I suspect you are correct that they just aren't applying sufficient talent to it's development/support.
