Comparison of clustering systems?

[Peter Lindgren]

Top500 has a poll asking "what cluster system do you use?". They offer the choices:

Oscar
Scyld
Score
SCE
NPACI Rocks
MSC.Linux
Other

So far I've actually installed and gotten my application running with Scyld. I have most of the other systems on CD. I was about to try Rocks. But to try them all is going to take me a long time....

I wonder whether anyone has recently done a comparison of these (or other) systems? (I also know of  Cplant and IBM's CSK.) I found an NHSE article from 1996, but that's ancient history.
