Best Gem For Threaded Comment Storage?

Rails
1

Dear List,

Given that I am developing a rails 2.3.5 site,
When it comes to storing threaded comments in a blog or forum,
Then which plugin/gem should be considered “State of the Art”?

I’m starting with these URLs:

I’m looking for opinionated people with opinions about my question.

I’m starting with these URLs:

GitHub - rails/acts_as_tree: NOTICE: official repository moved to https://github.com/amerine/acts_as_tree

Skip it. It uses an inefficient data model.

GitHub - rails/acts_as_nested_set: NOTICE: official repository moved to https://github.com/bbommarito/acts_as_nested_set
GitHub - collectiveidea/awesome_nested_set: An awesome replacement for acts_as_nested_set and better_nested_set.
GitHub - chris/better_nested_set: better_nested_set Rails plugin (my fork from official SVN)

I’d use one of these. I seem to recall that awesome_nested_set is the
nicest.

GitHub - elight/acts_as_commentable_with_threading: Similar to acts_as_commentable; however, utilizes awesome_nested_set to provide threaded comments

I’ve never used this, so I’m not certain which tree model it uses.

I’m looking for opinionated people with opinions about my question.

Given a choice of nested sets, I’d use “awesome_nested_set”. But
“acts_as_commentable_with_threading” seems to say exactly what you
want to do; so I’d look into that in a bit more detail.

acts_as_commentable_with_threading just requires awesome_nested_set

go ahead and use it
