I will go with mecab/kakasi for now.
My usecase for this is:
as a japanese learner I have texts around with Kanji I can not
yet read.  Reading the text and having the same text (printed or as
pdf) with Furigana helps looking up the ones I do not know.

When I hit unknown Kanji on websites rikaichan/rikaisama
help to see the Furigana 'onthefly'.

Thanks for all the hints,
Christian
