Up until now, I have been using drbd for file custers with great success. Yes, it is a PITA, and sometimes you can get annoying sincronization issues (mostly on lab situations).

Now I have been considering giving gnbd (with cs/gfs) a try.

Do any of you ever crossed this path ? Any comparisons or comments ?

I use drbd, but that is because I am doing exactly what it was designed for (creating a backup, failover server ... setting side-by-side with a crossover cable in case of server failure).

I have no experience using gnbd for that, so I really can't comment on whether it might be better.
