See http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-656 for the missing surefire support for JUnit Categories.
TestNG can run existing JUnit tests, though I don't know if the surefire TestNG support can do this transparently or if it requires some additional config (in testng.xml)? Other nice looking features are the ability to re-run just failed tests, parameterized tests with DataProviders, dependency injection support, nice listener/reporter API. I'm all for testing out a switch.
