Tex Live is fine - I have been using that for some time.
LyX will not work with ConTeXt though. This because ConTeXt is not simply a different variety of LaTeX. Both LaTeX and ConTeXt are extensions of TeX, but they are very different extensions. I don't know about xetex. Whatever you use, it must understand the latex commands LyX generates. ConTeXt does not. Anything that claims to support LaTeX (possibly with some interesting extensions) ought to work. Helge Hafting
