Thanks everyone for the responses, I will go with the latest bits for now; and will share how it goes.
@Toke, I stumbled upon your page last week but it seems that your huge index doesn't receive a lot of query traffic. Mine is around 60TB and receives around 120 queries per second; ~90 shards on 30 machines. I look forward to hear more scale stories.
