Bittorrent Trackers And Seeding

Anyone recently looked into BitTorrent trackers?

 

A client is thinking about using BitTorrent to distribute large videos to a (potentially large) number of clients (all legal of course).

 

I spent the afternoon looking at all the available packages, but it's not clear which ones are the best maintained, well-written, and with the most relevant features.

 

The client is interested in statistics, and keeping the torrent seeded at all times (and not seeding if not necessary to save bandwidth -- which is the whole reason for doing this).

 

I already told them that they would likely need to have their own server, so that's not a problem -- but it would be nice to get a non-public test site running first.

 

I've looked at PeerTracker, OpenTracket, mod bt, and BNBT. Anything missing? Anything recommended over anything else? Anything to stay away from?
