Being short and objective, is because GRSecurity includes all the features that LIDS can give you, plus a couple of other, quite interesting. Just to give an example, LIDS only detects a portscan, though with GRsecurity you can detect it and bogus the reply to make OS fingerprint more difficult (I won't say impossible). Still this is just my opnion, and you'll probably receive all kind of feedbacks from this list. Maybe if I were you I would try both of them and see which would suit me better. Good luck to you and your friends. Regards, P.
