Subject: which JDK to use?

Hi,

I'm just wondering which JDK people are using?  As far as I am aware I
have four choices:

 - use the 1.0.2 port (this isn't really an option for me)
	
 - use the 1.1.3 port from
  
   http://www.csi.uottawa.ca/~kwhite/jdkbinaries/jdk1.1-FreeBSD.html
   
 - use the Linux port in emulation mode
 
 - use Kaffe
 
Does anyone have any comments as to which of these is the best choice?
Also, is an `official' 1.1.x port due?  Thanks..
