I would happily throw away avahi-daemon for any other impementation. The
particularly nasty bug is that it will happily conflict with itself as
soon a IPv6 is used, increment hostname to hostname-nnnn well into the
five digit range while spewing gigabytes of logs. The bug report has
been open in Debian and ustream for years without anybody caring, the
most visible workaround being the universal advice to disable IPv6.

Please, offer an alternative.
