Hi Brian,

well, i don't think there is one canonical solution to this problem. We use 
basically everything of the technologies you mentioned above in one part of 
our system or another. ;-) It depends e.g. on your setup, your load, your 
customer requirements, your internal organisation..

Cheers,

Henning
