1) roll-your-own 2) cfengine 3) puppet and now 4) Chef Problems with option one range from scalability to maintainability. It does have the advantage of being dirt cheap and you know everything about it in house, but for me the maintenance issues were driving me to something else. Option 2 was just a right PITA everytime I tried to use it. Option 4 was not available at the time. So I started with puppet, since then puppet has just gotten better and keeps making life better. It scales great. It has made doing OS upgrades much easier. Basicly made everything I do maintenance wise better.
