One other potentially huge consideration is how "updatable" you need documents to be. Lucene only can replace existing documents, it cannot modify existing documents directly (so an update is essentially a delete followed by an insert of a new document with the same primary key). There are performance considerations here as well (how to do bulk updates quickly, etc.).
