You're never going to get a sensible answer as there are many
dimensions in which Prolog environments differ. To name a few
in no particular order of importance:

* Supported platforms
* Compiler speed
* Speed of produced code
* Stability
* Quality (speed, compliance, limits) of the built-in predicates
* System limits (memory, max size/number of XYZ)
* Garbage collection (also on atoms)
* Constraints, coroutining, etc.
* (Debugging) environment
* Interfaces to other languages
* Provided libraries (especially for your domain)
* Does it have graphical capabilities
* Pricing/availability
* User community

.... and this list is easily extended ...

Links are easy. Just type `prolog' into Google or read the Prolog FAQ.

Cheers --- Jan
