I personally found that I liked Commons Attributes the best. The only problem is the lack of committers. Leo Suttic has done a real nice job of putting things together. And it you weren't aware it uses QDox.
From what I know the nanning attributes code is where commons-attributes was last year sometime before Leo rewrote it all. Not as good IMO.
The others I don't know about.
