I'm not sure about acts_as_sphinx and sphinctor being actively updated, but I can confirm that both Ultrasphinx and Thinking Sphinx (my own plugin - http://ts.freelancing-gods.com) are regularly updated - and under the hood they both use the same Ruby Sphinx client - Riddle (http://riddle.freelancing-gods.com - again, mine - sorry for blowing my own trumpet), which I've been keeping up to date to match the recent releases of Sphinx.
Evan's and my plugins do a lot of the same things, just different approaches, so, with as little bias as possible, I think either can do the job for you. I can't speak for the other two plugins though, as it's been so long since I've looked into them.
