On a very simple 6-node project (each node running latest testing) -- no
problems whatsoever.  (Mind you, simple image-rendering isn't pushing
the system to its limits for great lengths of time either, and I haven't
run any sort of extensive benchmarking, or made any attempt to
deliberately break anything.)

No negative experiences either.

rgb has just made a very eloquent argument for using what your in-house
personnel are happiest with, and most knowledgeable about. (see list
archive)
Horses for courses.  Whatever gets the job done fastest, with the least
number of known disadvantages.
