Why are you thinking of switching?  Each piece of software has its
advantages and disadvantages.

Keepalived - architecture results in instant (<2 sec) failover,
master/master or 3+ directors is possible.
Ldirectord - more mature (less error prone), you already have it setup &
working, and you can use extra communication with heartbeat (e.g. serial
cable).
