Which one is better?

maven-jar-plugin/maven-dependency-plugin
maven-shade-plugin
onejar-maven-plugin
fatjar

Why is that choice better than the other solutions?
Is the one which is "well maintained" always the better choice?
How do you define the "well maintained"-ness?
Just because it is debugged more frequently does it mean it is better?
It is possible that the other one did not have that much problems and
this is why it was not changed frequently.
