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-man
PUPPET-MAN(8) Puppet manual PUPPET-MAN(8)
NAME
puppet-man - Display Puppet manual pages.
SYNOPSIS
puppet man action
DESCRIPTION
This subcommand displays manual pages for all Puppet subcommands. If the ronn gem (https://github.com/rtomayko/ronn/) is installed on your
system, puppet man will display fully-formated man pages. If ronn is not available, puppet man will display the raw (but human-readable)
source text in a pager.
OPTIONS
Note that any configuration parameter that's valid in the configuration file is also a valid long argument, although it may or may not be
relevant to the present action. For example, server is a valid configuration parameter, so you can specify --server <servername> 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.
--mode MODE
The run mode to use for the current action. Valid modes are user, agent, and master.
--render-as FORMAT
The format in which to render output. The most common formats are json, s (string), yaml, and console, but other options such as dot
are sometimes available.
--verbose
Whether to log verbosely.
--debug
Whether to log debug information.
ACTIONS
man - Display the manual page for a Puppet subcommand.
SYNOPSIS
puppet man subcommand
DESCRIPTION
Display the manual page for a Puppet subcommand.
RETURNS
The man data, in Markdown format, suitable for consumption by Ronn.
RENDERING ISSUES: To skip fancy formatting and output the raw Markdown text (e.g. for use in a pipeline), call this action with
'--render-as s'.
EXAMPLES
man
View the manual page for a subcommand:
$ puppet man facts
NOTES
The pager used for display will be the first found of $MANPAGER, $PAGER, less, most, or more.
