You are right.
I got Nexus as my first repo without very much research and have been 
really happy since then with the functionality and the support forum.
It has improved productivity and improved our understanding of the 
"Maven way".
I am sure that others have had good success with the other repo choices.

The main point that I would like to make is to get your own repo ASAP if 
you want to enjoy working with Maven.
