Answer 1

I can't give you real experience with any of them but would like to make an observation.

I assume by AuditTrail you mean AuditTrail on the Django wiki. If so, I think you'll want to instead look at HistoricalRecords developed by the same author (Marty Alchin aka @gulopine) in his book Pro Django. It should work better with Django 1.x.

This is the approach I'll be using on an upcoming project, not because it necessarily beats the others from a technical standpoint, but because it matches the "real world" expectations of the audit trail for that application.
