FB3 was great, FB4 is fantastic. Couple either of these (FB4's preferable)
with a CFC backend and I don't know that you can get a much better
framework.

Also very good, although has a steeper learning curve and reduced ability to
easily throw an "shoot from the hip" app together for testing. However, the
additional abstraction that's built-in (and has to be synthesized with FB4)
would be a boon to large projects.

Never used any of these, though Issac (of onTap fame) wrote a series of
articles comparing onTap, FuseBox and Mach-II. Check out his site. If I
recall correctly, FB4 was better than FB3, and it was wishy-washy beyond
that. onTap was better for certain things, FB better for others. I believe
onTap is significantly richer than either Fusebox (built in caching, for
example), so that needs to be taken into account as well.
My $0.02.
