I use MacTeX (but really only TeX Live as I seldom use the GUI tools in MacTeX)
for LaTeX and ConTeXt when it works; when ConTeXt in MacTeX breaks I
switch to Minimals.
I use a command-line tool, environment modules (experimental tcl
version from <http://modules.sourceforge.net/>), to switch between TeX
distros. This adjusts the
environment in the current shell.
