I vote for dropping OpenORB. The stress testing I've done showed Xindice/OpenORB consuming memory until the JVM crashed. Xindice/XML-RPC stayed stable through many hundreds of thousands of requests over a weekend.
The app the testing was done on was http://demo3.extendthereach.com which is a demo for IBM and the U.S. Census Bureau for the next generation American Factfinder site. I don't work there anymore, so don't know how the project is doing, but I can tell you that I'll use Xindice in future projects.
