Yup, it has bugs aswell. What other features does mISDN have?

Oh, sorry.

mISDN started out as a clean rewrite of Linux kernel ISDN support,
but seems completely stalled now. They never recovered from being 
removed from the 2.6 kernels again and isdn4linux being re-introduced.
You have your experience already.
chan_capi should work on top of mISDN for the low cost HFC-S cards,
but from my tests it doesn't make things better.

bristuff requires heavy patching to asterisk, but for HFC-S cards
there exists patches again to make that useable. It also builds 
libpri and zaptel by default, which I wouldn't need. So I found
it too complicated. Maybe ok for an installation, but think of
updates.

vISDN is actively developed and supported and has nice debugging 
features. It's also officially approved to use in public networks.
There are some issues not quickly fixed/fixable, like some echo or 
this delay issue (read recent messages). But vISDN echo uncancelled 
is not worse than with mISDN and their echo cancel enabled.

Give it a try.
