Let me try:
 
The flashy, new, do everything new and don't worry over old code system: NT
  (PA-RISC workstations only? with drivers for only new peripherals)
 
The general purpose, do anything, good reliability, system: HPUX
  (all PA-Risc systems and almost any peripheral known to man)
 
The diamond strong transaction processing system: Beyond MPE
  (selected models of PA-RISC only, with selected peripherals tested and
certified - maybe even with performance-level support agreements)
