asterisk users - Dec 2008 - SER, OpenSER, Kamailio, OpenSIPS -- what are you using?

One of the above is frequently used to front-end Asterisk.

I used OpenSER to front-end a farm of Asterisk servers and was very happy 
with it. The ability to take a box out of service or to route a specific 
DNIS to a box for testing rocks.

Since OpenSER has died (I don't care about the 
politics/personalities/trademarks), Kamailio and OpenSIPS have risen from 
the ashes. What are you using? (I'm still using OpenSER 1.3.1-notls.)

Thanks in advance,

At this point, it's six one, half dozen the other, although that may 
change with time.  Kamailio and SER appear to be joining forces.  But 
it's mostly a matter of your affinity with the community and the various 
political forces and personalities at this point.

I personally am sticking with the Kamailio camp because I think they are 
doing a better job of creating a stable business environment around the 
project and doing things that are important to big-name adopters who are 
far more concerned about having something they can lean on than about 
coding, coding and coding.

On the other hand, the OpenSIPS camp has proposed some very radical and 
potentially beneficial architectural changes if they are actually 
carried through.

Still, at this point in time, six one & half-dozen the other, especially 
if you're talking about the core and stateful ("tm" module) 
functionality needed for things that fall under the rubric of 
"front-ending Asterisk."
