Solaris 10 is on its way out, whether you like it or not. If you want a
method that's as close to Oracle's Solaris 11, then stick with
OpenIndiana or OmniOS. Nexenta, AFAIK, can't even be used to serve up
zones, so that's kind of moot. SmartOS, really, is the only oddball
here, and with good reason. They were solving a different problem to a
general purpose server.

Stick with OI or OmniOS.
