It depends upon lot of factor like... do u hav enough funds for the commercial software?...second factor is does ur library hav enough technical skill to manage open source software.

Libraries are not happy with neither with SOUL 2.0 and nor with libsys.

I think if ur library hav technical skill than KOHA is best OSS software. Even libraries not having enough expertise they can hire services of OSS from commercial vendors.
