I have used Xymon/Hobbit (and Big Brother before that) *a lot* and 
Nagios in the incarnation of Opsview quite a bit less. I can say that 
they are conceptually similar and a choice would have to be based on 
personal taste. Development of plugins / ext tests is almost identical 
and either can be trivially converted to the other.

Sorry for not being able to cough up more substantial support. I really 
can't think of anything that you can do with one but not the other.
