Depends on what your end goal is really.  The opensolaris.com version is
releasing every 6 months, and I don't believe there's currently any patching
between releases.  If you feel comfortable sitting on it that long, with
potential bugs for 6 months, great.  If not... it should be an easy choice.
Personally I chose option 3 and loaded nexenta.  You get regular updates,
but it still *stable* (or has been for me to date).
