Hey Jeff,
We are in the same situation but we focus mainly on fine art and
reproduction prints rather than pre-press. Although I'm not looking
exclusively at OS X I have narrowed the field down to two options.
Best's BestColor Rip
ColorBytes ImagePrint
I was thinking of posing the same question to the experts in the group here
as well. Going through the archives has been both laborious and and un
informative - Apple haven't really made their search function to user
friendly. (Threading the archives would be of great assistance Apple!)
We are looking at a 2100 with either the stock Epson Utrachrome inks plus
Epson Archival Matte paper or a 2100 with the MIS perpetual inkset,
2100/2200 version and Legion Photo Matte paper.
I know the results will be great going the stock standard Epson inks and
paper route but we also want to be able to use the archival third party inks
and paper. (It's a reasonable selling point.) And I guess the guts of the
question lie with this configuration and the ability to profile the
combination and get stunning results.
I'll add my question to Jeff's. Does anyone think one of the above RIPS will
be better than the other in our situation?

Any suggestions? Budget is my primary concern.
