I think AROS stands the better chance of survival what with it being Open Source and running on a lot of commodity PCs.  The 68K port sound interesting.  I still have my old A1200 though it hasn't been used in years.  I've downloaded and had a quick look at AROS on x86 using VirtualBox and it seems at first glance to be very good.

I've never used OS4 or MorphOS.  Both of them look fantastic but I cant help but feel that PowerPC is a dead end.  The hardware is just too expensive for OS4.  I like the fact that MorphOS can work on an old PowerPC Mac but I feel this is too limited for them.  New inexpensive hardware is what is required along with a good base of software.  The lack of software is the real killer of each of the OSes in my humble opinion.
