I am not on the team that evaluated and chose it, but they evaluated them all and chose Hudson over the others and our previous tool TeamCity. I don't know which criteria they used, but they deemed it the best match for our organization. It's maven integration has been pretty good as far as I can tell, maven projects are a first-class citizen in Hudson and seem very easy to set up. It has several useful plugins like Xvnc and Port Allocator that help us do Flex stuff better. I've never really used anything else to be able to compare it, but it seems to meet our needs. One thing I can say for it is that it's very easy to test out. We had a bug where flex-mojos was interacting poorly on our Linux build server with Hudson (somewhat similar to yours--worked fine normally, the flash player was hanging when run from within Hudson on Linux). I went the Hudson site, downloaded a jar file, did java -jar hudson.jar and hit localhost:8080 in my browser and had my own local copy of Hudson to play around with, and had a flex-mojos project building on it in less than a minute. It helped me determine that the bug was unrelated to Hudson, but was a bug in flex-mojos that only manifested on Linux. But I was impressed how easy it was to play around with it. Our team that manages Hudson has commented they like how easy it is to manage as well. That's all I know about it.
