I have read about all of these and if I had to try one I'd try puppet first.

I'm not sure bcfg2 has caught on all that well, even though it's been around a long time.

chef is new and there's a design debate between them and puppet.

Luke Kaines is a smart guy and was involved with infrastructures.org back when.  They know a lot 
about configuration control, though their opinion about strict ordering seems not to have made it 
into current code.  But I respect their experience.

Not exactly a scientific survey, but that's where I'd start.
