Have never used Bluepill, but I like Foremans approach of using Upstart which is already used to manage other services on the system and is very well thought out.

I think Ubuntu 12.04 has Upstart 1.3 which can even offer support for user jobs (rather than just system jobs), which is great for things like configuring resque workers.
