I've put together some information about TDNet, and comparisons of it
with the first two competitors you list (the last didn't exist at the
time the comparisons were done).  http://lester.boisestate.edu/tdnet/
will get you to the appropriate page.  It includes a page with links
to some of the TDNet customers around the world.  The page also
includes links to the TDNetUsers list that I manage, in case you're
interested in joining.

Finally, a colleague, Peggy Cooper, will be doing a presentation at
Internet Librarian conference in November in Palm Springs.  A bit of
added useful information from that talk is extracted below.

Additional information about TDNet may be found at:

The Boise State University installation may be seen at:
