We wrote it, so we use it :)

We use scp to transfer the files across to slaves. The generated  
config is different between master and slaves, so separate tarballs  
are created. There's also a validation phase before we synchronise a  
reload on all Nagios instances.

There's a little publicised feature where you can cluster your slaves  
together, so at configuration generation time, it will split the  
hosts between the clustered slaves for load balancing. if there's a  
failure on one slave, the other slave will take over the active  
checks. All for free!
