My friend who used the rogaine had the most dramatic result, he was losing hair pretty much across the entire top of his head. In his 20's it receeded and thined a bit in the front, by 30 he wore a hat pretty religiously and he lost so much when he took it off it would set you back a bit. The rogaine really helped him out. He can't grow a pompadour or anything, but he just looks like he's thinning again, knocked him back about a good 5 years.

The friend who takes propecia did not have such drastic results, but at the same time was not as bald to begin with. This friend has thinning hair in the widow's peak area and in the yamaka area. Propecia pills pretty much halted the balding and added some moderate regrowth.

I don't know if it makes a difference but my friend who uses Rogaine is fair hair, blone / blue eyes. My friend who uses propecia is dark haired, medium brown hair / brown eyes. They are both pretty waspy as far as heritage.
