No problem with Piwik, we actually use it at the University of Toronto on a number of high volume sites with no issues.

IMO, if we have no plans to use some of the data unique to Piwik, we should stick to less invasive and easier on the browser visitor stats gathering methods (i.e. web server log based).

That’s fair. We might as well not, I suppose we only really need very general data anyways so missing some data because of it would be not a huge deal.

I think that having JS as the only tracking option is sufficient as some (not all, but some) crawlers execute _javascript_ when downloading the page which would result in the Piwik tracking URL to be loaded.
