Railo or BD

I am trying to integrate some ColdFusion into an existing LAMP architecture: Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP.
What is my best option as far as the CF alternatives to live/work in harmony?
From my research, Railo and OpenBD are the best options, no?
How will they run in conjunction with the current environment?
What are the pros/cons of each?

Well, for one thing, I know Railo works very well with Apache and Linux. Also, the source code of railo is better written then BD's, and Railo is open-source.
I am not using BD, but Railo only takes 60MB of memory. And Railo's mailing list is awesome!

Railo played nice with everything in my existing LAMP Development Server. You should have no issues.

In my testing Railo is the fastest CFML engine in existence. I am using Railo with CentOS, Apache, MySQL and Resin. I am calling it a Realm server. Railo, Eclipse, Apache, Linux and MySQL. Why sit under a LAMP when you can be lord of your own REALM.

Railo works great in my LAMP environments (both development and production). I haven't tried OpenBD yet so I can't compare the 2.

Thanks for the feedback, looks like Railo is going to be my best bet.

@Paul -- OpenBD is, as the name indicates, "open," and I'd be VERY curious to hear more about why you think Railo's source code is "better written." That's a rather uninformed and silly comment in my opinion.

OpenBD plays very well in an existing LAMP stack. For example, we're using MediaWiki for the OpenBD wiki right along side OpenBD running other parts of the site. No problems.
