Definitely use liblo, no question.  It's actually in active development
(libosc++ is stale as can be), and is generally the OSC library for
linux audio things to use (IMNSHO).  In other words, most people have
it, or will soon enough (it's in Debian, and libosc++ is not, for the
record)

I use it for GUI->Engine (and back) communication, and all is well (and
yes, two clients can control the engine and see each others updates and
all that - it looks pretty cool ;] )

Plus, liblo is going to get ZeroConf service discovery and other such
shiny things Real Soon Now(TM)

-DR-

P.S.  Death to MIDI! :)
