I used cfengine for 2 years. After switching to puppet I relised that I'll not chage it ever for something else
Puppet has a realy great community and support. So you'll find mode help about puppet or patches if needed than cfengine. This is my opinion. I know there are people out there how think cfengine is better, and if cfengine works well for them thats fine for me. But cfengine in my opinion does't have a bright future as puppet.
So my advice is to go with puppet.

puppet-apply
PUPPET-APPLY(8) Puppet manual PUPPET-APPLY(8)
NAME
puppet-apply - Apply Puppet manifests locally
SYNOPSIS
Applies a standalone Puppet manifest to the local system.
USAGE
puppet apply [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-d|--debug] [-v|--verbose] [-e|--execute] [--detailed-exitcodes] [-l|--logdest file] [--apply cat-
alog] [--catalog catalog] file
DESCRIPTION
This is the standalone puppet execution tool; use it to apply individual manifests.
When provided with a modulepath, via command line or config file, puppet apply can effectively mimic the catalog that would be served by
puppet master with access to the same modules, although there are some subtle differences. When combined with scheduling and an automated
system for pushing manifests, this can be used to implement a serverless Puppet site.
Most users should use 'puppet agent' and 'puppet master' for site-wide manifests.
OPTIONS
Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument. For example, 'modulepath' is a
valid configuration parameter, so you can specify '--tags class,tag' as an argument.
See the configuration file documentation at http://docs.puppetlabs.com/references/stable/configuration.html for the full list of acceptable
parameters. A commented list of all configuration options can also be generated by running puppet with '--genconfig'.
--debug
Enable full debugging.
--detailed-exitcodes
Provide transaction information via exit codes. If this is enabled, an exit code of '2' means there were changes, an exit code of
'4' means there were failures during the transaction, and an exit code of '6' means there were both changes and failures.
--help Print this help message
--loadclasses
Load any stored classes. 'puppet agent' caches configured classes (usually at /etc/puppet/classes.txt), and setting this option
causes all of those classes to be set in your puppet manifest.
--logdest
Where to send messages. Choose between syslog, the console, and a log file. Defaults to sending messages to the console.
--execute
Execute a specific piece of Puppet code
--verbose
Print extra information.
--apply
Apply a JSON catalog (such as one generated with 'puppet master --compile'). You can either specify a JSON file or pipe in JSON from
standard input. Deprecated, please use --catalog instead.
--catalog
Apply a JSON catalog (such as one generated with 'puppet master --compile'). You can either specify a JSON file or pipe in JSON from
standard input.
EXAMPLE
$ puppet apply -l /tmp/manifest.log manifest.pp
$ puppet apply --modulepath=/root/dev/modules -e "include ntpd::server"
$ puppet apply --catalog catalog.json
