I love this site... it has great information about the doses and side effects of various popular pills. It also allows you to calculate the progesterone and androgen potency in the pills for comparison purposes. http://www.wdxcyber.com/ncontr13.htm
That being said though, I strongly believe that there is no one "good" or "bad" pill - I think you just have to see what works for you. I was on bcp for 10 years, and I've tried quite a few!
I hated Yasmin and Diane 35... even though they are supposed to be great for PCOS. Many women love them, but I gained weight on both, and was really moody for a week every month. On the other hand, in theory, Alesse should not be the first choice for someone with PCOS (because of the androgenic properties of the progestin), and this is my favorite pill by far. I feel really balanced on it, and have clear skin, no weight gain etc.
Anyways, this has been my experience!
