I think the short answer is it depends. It really depends on what kind of user needs you want to use storage system to fulfill. There's no best solution but in each specific case, there can be one most suitable solution for the requirement. I know this may not be the answer you are seeking but I'd say start looking at the problem you are solving and figure out what kind of specific needs the problem has for storage, then you may easily narrow down # of candidates.
