We use Cobbler for our Centos/RHEL kickstarts (around 150+ nodes, mainly VMs) and a very simple .ks that adds puppetd. on first boot it starts up and we manually sign the CSR on the puppet master.
Historically, we didn't want tight integration between provisioning and CM as we were new to both and if one turned out to be a lemon we didn't want to have to abandon both. We only provision a few nodes a day max. so that works ok. Lately I've been thinking of replacing Cobbler with The Foreman, which has better Puppet integration. (our team are happy with editing nodes.pp and Hiera and have never really needed anything like advanced storeconfig etc. but we build a lot of servers for external teams and being able to expose config options etc. is the real driver for Foreman).
