Thanks for asking this. I have been looking at something a bit similar
in the optical and have also run into issues.
IMHO the specutils tools are OK/fine until the data gets noisy. Looking
at medium redshift (z~1.0) QSO spectra in particular (even woth a
reasonable S/N).
I too would be interested in any comments that people have on the
relative merits of the packages and recommendations.

PS I also think that the specutils demos could make more use of real
data in this area and suggest ways of handling it.
