I had this same quandary sometime back.

Options were

NSClient (seems too old, not being developed)
NSClient++ (presumably enhanced in some way)
OpServices version of NSClient (still being developed)
NC_Net (still being developed)

In the end I simply went with NC_Net and it appears to work for us just
fine, and I often see the author on this list, which tells me that he's
still involved with Nagios in some way.

It would be nice if all the different people who independently developed
all the different versions 'unforked' their efforts though :-), it would
make the decision on which one to use much easier, by having a lack of
choice!!
