Any comments on NexentaStor Community/Developer Edition vs EON for NAS/small server/home server usage? It seems like Nexenta has been around longer or at least received more press attention. Are there strong reasons to recommend one over the other? (At one point usable space would have been a strong reason to use EON because NexentaStor Developer Edition had a small capacity limit of 1 TB, later 4 TB, but now it is a more usable 12 TB.)

This probably the best answer right now. It will be even better when they get a web administration GUI running. Some variant of freenas on freebsd is also possible.
Opensolaris is missing a good opportunity to expand its user base on two fronts.
1. It's *hard* to figure out what motherboards will just work, and what will 
have problems.
2. There's not a better-packaged solution to this particular question. EON is 
very, very close to solving this one.
