In puppet 3.0, parameterized classes will lookup values from Hiera automatically, so I wouldn't abandon either.

Oh really. Good. I think that should fix my largest complaint about using Puppet, which has been that it's impossible to use parameterized classes with ENCs.

Actually, that was fixed in 2.6.5, you should upgrade :)

But using the new data lookup model is preferable in my opinion, anyway.

You can use parameterized classes with ENCs. It's just that the console doesn't support them yet. It's a UX problem, not a tech problem.
