keepalived - more features, more "concentrated" to LVS, less stable
(software is not nearly as well tested).
heartbeat+ldirectord - works fine, very stable, easy to upgrade.  it's what
I use.

If I had to start over again I would consider using keepalived.  This is not
because I am unhappy with the heartbeat package; it's simply because
keepalived has some nice features I want - active/active, less messing
around with programs such as "mon", etc.

Hope that helps
