I would use the complete lodash package for all server side code and the require('lodash/objects/merge') method for client side code:
maintenance is super high for the individual packages
for install time: saves roundtrips, not download size
we are deduping and bundling all dependencies for the final hoodie build. When lodash is used throughout all components (+greenkeeper) then we'll end up with just one lodash (also in memory). I think that the saved, duplicated metafiles of all the individual packages might have a similar size than the entire build :P
the lodash/*/* method has all the upsides of the individual packages for client side builds, without the package.json and require mess

Sounds good to me
