Hey Chris, I've used elasticsearch recently and was pleased with it. Once setup, elasticsearch-model makes it easy to build and customize the indeces. The docs for both elasticsearch and elasticsearch-model are quite good. If you need to get down and write custom elasticsearch queries using their query dsl, using elasticsearch-model with rails console is good way to get in and play around with it. You simple pass ruby hashes into the 'search' method and it hits elasticsearch bringing back your results. The elasticsearch search DSL has a small learning curve but if you aren't doing anything too custom, you might get by with just customizing the index and using the standard query method.
I've used Sunspot/Solr a few years back. If I had to choose again, I would still go with elasticsearch.
