New version 1.12 attached at original post.
Various tweaks for speed and quality. Changed "Inflate", "Deep" now is not re-analyzed on every load, selectable number of passes for "Deep".

Here are the results:

For s_ExLogo I used the default parameters, for LogoAway the UGLARM method was used with the blur slider set to max (all the way to the right).

LogoAway also has a much faster XYBlur mode which creates results very similar to s_ExLogo. But UGLARM does look so much better in almost every situation that I have been using this mode exclusively over the last couple of years.
Now I would like to challenge VooDooFX if his script can create a better looking result. My requirements are pretty simple:
1. Just 1 mode for opaque logos. I do not care for semi-transparent logos.
2. No manual mask creation. All I want to provide to the plugin are the logo coordinates.
3. I do not mind if the logo area gets blurred strongly. All I want is that my attention is not taken away from the movie itself, so the delogo'd area should be as unobtrusive as possible, mainly I hate when this area shows strong flickering.
4. Easy to use and reasonably fast.
Tough challenge, I know. For now I will stick with LogoAway, s_ExLogo is no serious contender IMO.

a) "
too complicated" - It's relatively simple.
b) "
dozens of params" - It's not mandatory to use them all, you can use only 2 parameters if you want. LogoAway has dozens parameters too...
c) "
have to select frames and create masks manually" - Not mandatory. Quote from op - "can save your time by generating a logo mask
automatically".
d) "
requires AVS+" - Not mandatory.
e) "
no option for logos over black borders" - Does it prevent you to delogo? You said it has too many params already.
1) There is already such mode.
2) Mask generation is automatic already.
3) You can do that already. Why you don't want to use deblend? It would remove your logo almost without a trace.
4) It is easy already. Added new fast "
Turbo" presets parameter in v1.12.
