My company is considering using the Emic clustering software. Has anyone had experience with that? Will the MySQL branded one be better?

I 've tried to set up EMIC clustering once for an experiment. Unfortunately, it
required more system configuration changes that I was willing to implement.

Cannot say much about what is coming from MySQL, but being open-source is a big
plus. This means quicker user base growth, and wider and more in-depth testing.
Additionally, MySQL has a reputation for a quick turnaround on bugs, which is
still the case, even though the company has gotten quite a bit bigger and a lot
more commercial business-oriented.

I would, however, not try to depend on either for your application if at all
possible, and build a simple custom solution yourself instead. Clustering for a
known system is a much easier problem that building a generic cluster - you can
take many application-specific shortcuts that would not be acceptable in a
general case.
