Thanks all - great to get some feedback before I leap in. IBO seems a little
more est'd the Firebird+ (love the name) though it does seem (read) pretty
good too.

Can't speak for IBX. In my experience, IBO is a good solution. The
gotchas in the past have tended to be related to the frequency of
releases, choosing which ones to adopt and coping with resulting
spec changes which impact on yuor code. But as with all mature
products, there is significantly less of that now.

Yes, it's fairly good for that -- this has an area which has evolved
well over the years.
And support is excellent, which shouldn't be overlooked.
cheers,
