Pros and cons of different 5e character sheets

Hi. My regular game moved online last week, using Discord, and I've recommended that the GM check out Roll20 as a possibility. We're currently 10th level using base rules plus  Xanathar's Guide to Everything, set in the Forgotten Realms. I'm a Shadow Sorcerer (Tiefling who thinks he's the human son of the recently ex Lord of Hillsfar reincarnated as a Grey Dwarf -- but that's another story). We have quite a few non-standard magic items. Would all of the character sheets (OGL, Shaped, Community) work equally well, or might some be more appropriate? Best wishes, Wakefield

OGL is the official Roll20 5e sheet and is what all licenced content is set up to use by default, it's easy to use and will always be one of the first to showcase new functionality. It is somewhat limited by that simplicity/official nature but is a robust and 'familiar' sheet for most people to use. The Shaped sheet is like the OGL on steroids, it is well maintained and has a large user base who swear by it in terms of it's flexibility and ability to cover any use case you can throw at it. I believe there are also API (pro subscriber perk) tools to transfer data from the OGL to the Shaped for module conversion (and I might even be wrong about needing the API for that). If your group are power users or your setting employs a lot of home brew then this is likely the sheet for you. The community sheet is simplest by virtue of being older and out of support, it will be limited as a result but some people advocate it for the simplicity it affords their players. Ultimately, I'd suggest setting up 3 games, each using one of the sheets and playing around with them to see what works best for you and your expectations.

I would make three observations about the Shaped Sheet (which is extremely powerful). It is no longer maintained. It received one minor maintenance upgrade last year, I think, but the developer, Kryx, has largely abandoned it.This was my chief reason for switching to the D&D 5th Edition by Roll20 sheet. The Shaped sheet will become more problematic over time. It still functions fine, though may have issues importing more recent compendium content. The conversion options for modules and such are built into the sheet and need no API. It does not convert pcs or npcs created by  the official sheet, but it will form sheets properly from Compendium or module data, with the caveat listed above. It cannot use the Charactermancer, if that is important to your group.

Thank you both for your replies. I don't think the community sheet is for us, and it sounds like it would be safest to try the OGL sheet and start a second game with the Shaped if we find the OGL isn't versatile enough. 

That sounds wise. It took an act of willpower to abandon the Shaped Sheet.

Gosh, sorry for the fake news, I thought someone had taken up the reins but apparently not... I'm guessing it is still stable though since it is so popular?

If a highly qualified person were to take up the reins, that would be great. It's a pretty sophisticated sheet though, and probably has the best companion script around.
