If this is only about newbies, I'd rather have a separate document to
guide them, pointing of pros and cons of each Scheme. Putting all
Schemes in one-dimensional scale from "worst" to "best" is hard and
likely misleading. For summary (and for more experienced uers), a
matrix of features would suffice.
