I'll add that if the best you can do is a totally unconstrained gologit, i.e. no proportionality constraints are justified, then I would probably use an mlogit model just because more people are familiar with it. Gologit probably works best when only a few variables violate the proportional odds assumption. If several or all variables violate, then you aren't gaining that much parsimony and you have to explain a method that a lot of people aren't familiar with.

It would make most sense to compare an ordered logit with a full free
generalized ordered logit. After a gologit a mlogit would make little
sense; an mlogit would describe the pattern with the exactly same
number of parameters, the difference is only which outcome categories
are compared. Richard Wiliams and I discussed at the last German Stata
Users' meeting the different tests that are available for testing an
ologit against a gologit. The slides can found here:

Hope this helps,
