I also had a chance to see a cubist painting by Rivera, at the Musuem Of Modern Art. In general, I am not a fan of cubism.

I just saw Man at the Crossroads, commie imagery and all, several days ago. Well, the repainted version. It's a great painting and another observation for the hypothesis that ethics and aesthetics ain't got nothing to do with each other (though from the MMuralists I do prefer Montenegro where the political themes are much more subtle if actually present - but this has more to do with the fact that I think Montenegro was much better at composition than Riviera, Orozco or Siqueiros).
Also, Cubism in moderate doses can be quite tasty. And it lowers your chances of heart disease.
I do not know muralists. The cubist works I've see are too much shades of grey for my tastes.
