The performance and stability characteristics of the BEA, Sun and IBM 
offerings are different, and in my experience it is difficult to hail 
one of them as a clear winner.

If you _are_ going to mention vendor-specific offerings, it may be idea 
to mention all three, since they are all pretty decent and available on 
x86 and x86_64 (IBM has a beta of 1.5 for PPC; BEA works on IA64).
