I think FW/1 is great for a barebones framework where you don't want it getting in your way. I think the documentation and examples are excellent. As I understand it, the next version will be packaged with DI/1 ( dependency Injection) and with routing you can sort of do ReST stuff (though I don't think it is as good as Taffy).
cfWheels has a plugin architecture that has a lot of stuff that can help you build a site very quickly. It has it's own ORM. It has very good documentation. Both have very friendly and helpful community. If you build your application with services/domain model, you can pretty much use and MVC framework and without too much effort port to the other. Also, if you want to take advantage of ReSt built into ACF10, you will be able to use your service layer.
