this isn't first-hand information....rather it's from listening to our unix
admins carp :-)  it's my impression that if *our* unix admins had a say (which
they don't :-)....we wouldn't be running hp-ux at all.  of the proprietary
unixes...uni-ni...ummm....unixen...ack....anyhow -- they prefer sun's or
ibm's.  i believe hp as made some strides in recent years, but our admins used
to 'sing the praises' of aix for supporting 'hot' kernel changes but hp-ux
required a reboot (for example).

frankly, i find the 'flavors on unix' debate to be just like (and equally
inflammatory) us proclaiming the glories of mpe vs <fill-in a lesser os here>
or the dreaded windows vs mac argument :-)

personally, if i were making a career-making/destroying decision on
flav-o-unix, i wouldn't go with aix.  i don't see ibm supporting for much
longer given their very public embrace of linux.  also, i believe that aix is
not receiving updates at the same rate as other unixes....oh never mind
:-)          - d 'probably way out on a limb'
