There seem to be two memcache client libraries for ruby:

1. Ruby-MemCache  
[dev(E)iate](http://www.deveiate.org/projects/RMemCache/)  
(referenced from RAA. Depends on IO-Reactor)

2. memcache-client  
[dev.robotcoop.com](http://dev.robotcoop.com/Libraries/)  
hosted at [http://rubyforge.org/projects/seattlerb](http://rubyforge.org/projects/seattlerb)  
(not visible at RAA)

Anyone got any information as to which is preferable?

Thanks,

Brian.
