Also, number of people involved in OS maintenance made me suggest SmartOS or OmniIT...
OmniOS succeeds due to its quite limited scope rather than a large number of maintainers. It leaves the responsibility for providing common server applications (e.g. Apache) to others. SFE is in a fledgling state for OmniOS, but might prove to be a significant future source of applications (in addition to Joyent-supported pkgsrc and third parties who have provided public access to their IPS packages).
SmartOS does not likely have a large number of maintainers either, but Joyent has bet its future on it. SmartOS also succeeds by limiting its scope.
OpenIndiana has a much larger scope given how many packages it offers by default.
