I had experimented with NLTK, CoreNLP, OpenNLP etc and when it came it NEP extraction, I felt NLTK does the better job (none of them were anywhere close to perfect/dependable), but NLTK had a lot more dictionaries to choose from and overall better. We use a highly customized/overhauled NLTK for our apps Iris(siri for Android) and Friday for Android.

NLTK may very well be better. I only compared OpenNLP and Stanford because I was implementing my thesis in Scala and I wanted a library running on the JVM.
