We did a lot of playing around with these last summer which is before the latest stonith plugins came out. I personally like to have the rilo available for out of band management of the hosts but that can add to the costs of the hosts you may not care to expend.
That said we had the best luck with the rilo plugins for consistent fencing. I had very good experiences with the Western telematic (WTI) device. There's an excellent set of documents on configuration too.
