What are the relative merits of the various memcached gems?

1. memcached ([Evan Weaver](http://blog.evanweaver.com/files/doc/fauna/memcached/)  
files/README.html)
2. memcache\_client ([http://seattlerb.rubyforge.org/memcache-client/](http://seattlerb.rubyforge.org/memcache-client/))
3. ruby-memcache ([dev(E)iate](http://www.deveiate.org/projects/RMemCache/))
