mISDN has the pro that chan_misdn is part of the default
asterisk. I have no idea if the mISDN drivers are part of
the default kernel, so you might check that.

Bristuff has the pro that it comes in one package with a
nice ./install script. This makes it easy to install
everything you need.

vISDN I dont know about. Maybe others can comment on that.

I prefer to use bristuff, but that's because we have some
installs with quodbri cards and we want to have the same
version on all boxes. We dont use the hfc part, because of
the quality compared to the more robust cards (quadbri,
eicon etc)

my 2 cents
