“MongoMapper v. Mongoid v. Candy v. etc…? Which should I use?”

A1: Don’t use a mapper at all, just interact with MongoDB directly. If you use a mapper, choose a library that’s least like Active Record.
A2: We used MongoMapper and it worked out okay. It doesn’t behave like Active Record in some ways, but it wasn’t a huge problem.
A3: We had to fight against Mongoid, since it only provided a subset of what Active Record provides and it didn’t provide some MongoDB specific things.
