Dalli is written in pure ruby and should work across all implementations (jruby, etc.). It should also work across any future ruby upgrades.
The client with native c bindings Is faster but would be harder to debug if issues do appear. Unless you are doing hundreds of thousands or millions of calls to memcache per day you likely won't notice the speed difference.
