If you just need something fast, scouting apps are probably the way to go. If you are worried about doing analytics,
http://frcscout.com (our public scouting app), is adding some built-in analytics later this week.
Another thing that I don't think anyone has mentioned yet is scout motivation. I have scouted two years on paper and two on tablets and phones and our team found that our scouts liked scouting on the tablets/phones because it felt like a video game to them.
While this year is a weak year for scouting, there is always next year. The sooner you can figure out what your team wants to use, the faster you can deploy it next year when you might REALLY need it.
