The Cannibal recovery has to many bugs and has problems flashing some .zips. The Multi-boot recovery will only work properly if you have two ROM's with the same exact kernel. The Green, the Blue, and the Cannibal recovery's are not be able to restore any backups made from another recovery.
The Xionia recovery has the "fix recovery loop" option in the advanced section (the Cannibal does as well), so I keep a zipped one on the root of the uSD card in case this where to happen while using another recovery. The Xionia works great on the older ROM's that use ammend scripting, but not so well on the IHO CM7 Gingerbread ROM's that use edify scripting.
All ClockworkMod recovery's or it's variants (all the ones mentioned above plus the BobZohme and the Touch screen recovery), work terrible on the older ammend scripting ROM's
The BobZohme and the Touch Screen recovery's are the best right now for all CM7 and CM9 ROM's. I use the Touch Screen Recovery only because it will allow me to use either the touch screen or the hard keys.
I've never had issues restoring backups with cannibal that were made with any other recoveries, and I've made at least 2 backups with all recoveries, nor have I ran into any other issues you've named off with cannibal.
