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. > We would be > using one of these in conjunction with the restul_auth plugin btw.
