Sorry, I've never heard of vtk.

As for HDF5 vs. netCDF, I think the principle difference is that netCDF
is simpler to use, and HDF5 is more general and complete.

Data interoperability is another issue. NetCDF can write and read
classic format and HDF5 data files, HDF5 cannot read netCDF classic
format. So in that sense, netcdf has the advantage.

Thanks,

Ed
