It depends on the timeframe you're working with. If you want something
up and running within the next month or so for a mission-critical
system, then Big Brother + bbgen is probably the safer choice.

Hobbit is currently in a beta-test phase, and that is quite deliberate
on my part. New software has bugs, period. If you can live with the
odd chance that you'll hit one or more of them, then running beta
software is a good way to get the latest and greatest feature-set.
But if you need stability, beta-software sucks.
