Which tool to Patch SOL 9? - 3 tools found

I have found 3 different tools to patch Solaris 9:

1. Patch Check Advanced (PCA) by Martin Paul
BigAdmin: Solaris Information Center - Patching Support
Patch Check Advanced

2. Update Manager from Sun
Sun Connection

3. pkg-get, wget, etc. from Blastwave.org
Blastwave.org - How to get started with Solaris 8 or Solaris 9

Experiences with these tools?
Suggestions, comments, please?!

Thanks!

I use Update Manager to patch Solaris 9 and 10, works great for my environment.

1. and 2. are similar.

3. isn't at all designed to patch Solaris. It can be used to automatically install and update freeware packages. update != patch
