Education Loans: Stafford-vs-Private

I know when my daughter went years ago that an Unsubsidized Stafford loan was a good deal because the interest rate was down around 3%. Currently, the Unsubsidized Stafford loan rates are anywhere between 6% and 7%. I've never dealt with a private education loan and was wondering if anyone has recently? Thanks Mike
