Bulleted executive summaries for the above: http://www.rstack.org/oudot/rmll/slides/3/ksec_lsm.pdf (page 43+). Popularity is obviously not direct evidence of quality, *appropriateness* for Gentoo community, usability, etc., but might be correlated with these factors. Younger projects might also be on the rise (not reflected above). These products differ dramatically in features and purpose.
