I have used both as well.

Coolkey CSP has: "Copyright © 2003-2005 Identity Alliance"
It has not been updated since February 2007.

http://www.directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/CoolKey
says abount the coolkey PKCS#11 module:
  "In addition CoolKey PKCS #11 provides access to CAC cards,
   and in the future PIV compliant cards."

Since The CAC cards are being phased out, in favor of dual
CAC and PIV cards then to PIV only cards and Windows 7 has
a built in PIV minidriver. it is not very likly that coolkey
pkcs#11 will be updated.

The coolkey CSP had hard coded in the name of the coolkey
PKCS11 module. The mods I sent to OpenSC in 2009 addressed
this issue as well as some others.

The minidriver for OpenSC might be a good choice for OpenSC
for other cards.
