My take would be on the design implications. Lowercase letters use round lines, uppercase letters use straight lines. With our logo, which uses only straight lines (triangles), an uppercase font will fit better (at least the M and E). Granted if the logo were more rounded, like openstack or hadoop, it might make sense. But I do think it would be a good idea to mock up the alternatives to get a feel for this. :)
Uppercase and lowercase definitely have a different feel as Yan mentioned. For a cluster scheduler framework, my vote would be for uppercase.
