Beautiful Soup is specialized for HTML parsing, and it can deal with
badly formed HTML, but if I recall correctly BeautifulSoup can use the
lxml engine under the hood, so maybe it's the way to go for you, is it
gives you the most flexibility.  It certainly has a good API that's easy
to use for data scraping.  Try it and see if it's acceptable.
