I don't know, but after Reaperbot was all the rage (about 1997), the Omicron Bot was the preferred one by many (including a large contingent of Mac Quake players, who had regular Omicron "botblast" competitions on custom maps for a couple of years, around 1998-1999). Steve Polge, who created the Reaper, had long since gone to work for Epic on the Unreal AI. (Jean-Paul van Waveren, who created the Omicron, also did the Gladiator for Quake II and later went to id to do the Quake III AI, which he then wrote his Master of Science thesis on.) More recently, I think Frogbot may be the most up-to-date, but I've never tried it.
