As a new Cayenne user, I can say that only the cayenne modeler was the deciding factor to give it a try.
So from my point of view, everything that helps you stay focused on cayenne modeler is a good strategy :). The JPA however, doesn't seem to have any support in cayenne modeler, so I wouldn't use it even if it would pass the TCK. Instead I would use something that has very advanced tool support (with diagram support) to bring me even more productivity, like e.g.: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/features/java_hibernate.html (see some screen shots there) thanks, Joseph.
