IMNSHO: SLURM, Torque, and N1GE are all fine products. They work
well in production environments, both small and large. They all have
default trivial FIFO schedulers but can also be used with more
complex schedulers (e.g., Maui/Moab).
FWIW: I tend to like SLURM simply out of personal preference; that's
what I use on my Cisco development and testing clusters. I'll echo
Jeff P's sentiments that the SLURM developers are very responsive to
questions and fixing problems.

SLURM was really easy to build and install, plus it's a project of
LLNL and I love stuff that the Nat'l Labs architect.
The SLURM message board is also very active and quick to respond to
questions and problems.

Hello All. We are starting to need resource/scheduling management
for our small cluster, and I was wondering if any of you could
provide comments on what you think about Torque vs. SLURM? On the
basis of the appearance of active development as well as the
documentation, SLURM seems to be superior, but can anyone shed
light on how they compare in use? I realize the truth in the stock
answer of "it depends on what you need/want," but as of yet we are
not experienced enough with this kind of thing to have a set of
firm requirements. At this point, we can probably adapt our
workflow/usage a little bit to accomodate the way the resource
manager works. And of course we'll be using OpenMPI with whatever
resource manager we go with. Anyway, enough from me -- I'm looking
to hear other's experiences and viewpoints. Thanks for any input!
