The big scary comment from the carmen repo owner makes me a bit leery of using carmen, though with 200+ forks, it looks like it won't be going away anytime soon, either.
I've used MaxMind's database with other languages (perl) and I know it's good, too. I'm happier letting someone else manage the collection and dissemination of geographic data that I can update, than needing to update a gem for data updates. I think the biggest wins, by far, are the cities and the update mechanism.
