I had the same candidates recently and decided to use CanCan. I think
that they are very similar in spirit, declarative_authorization is far
more elaborate and consequently more complex. CanCan is much simpler. As
I don't need more than CanCan provides, I went with it.

If you need model-based security over and above resource/controller-
based checks, than declarative_authorization is the way to go.
