One thing I can tell you is that daemontools and daemontools-encore were never intended to be init systems, whereas I'm pretty sure that runit, s6 and nosh intended to be part or all of an init system. In fact, I used runit as a complete init system, and it worked well. Regardless of the intent of daemontools and daemontools-encore, I just this week used daemontools to do almost all the system initialization for Plop Linux, and all the process management. PID1 was just an 89 line C program that forked /bin/rc.init, then wait() spun killing zombies and handling relevant signals. /bin/rc.init set the computer up enough that daemontools-encore would work, and then exec'ed daemontools-encore.
