It depends on your configuration. If you need notification filtering,
support for the AgentX MIB, or context support for AgentX then
you should use AGENT++ as master agent.

On the other hand, if most of the MIB objects you need for the
management of your entire system are support only by the UCD
agent, then I would recommend using the UCD agent as master.
(Because of the better overall performance, when the amount of
proxied MIB objects is minimized)

Both configurations should be reliable. However there is a problem when
using the UCD agent (with its private MIB group activated) as subagent
of an AGENT++ master. The Opaque MIB objects of that private MIB
are not returned by the UCD subagent. This a problem of the UCD agent
which is already reported and which will be hopefully fixed in upcoming
releases.

Hope that helps?
