I'm not qualified to say which one is best as I haven't used Memcache
much, but I can say that I've used EHCache quite a lot within Restlet
applications and am very happy with it.

Likewise, but the converse: we use Memcached extensively and we're
very pleased with it, but I don't think we've used EHCache.

That said, I don't know if either one would be better than the other
specifically for a RESTful application; I don't know why an
application being RESTful would make a difference. I'd think that what
an application does and what sort of data it maintains, and which use
cases it's focused on, would matter far more.

A quick Google search finds many pages discussing the question of
EHCache vs Memcached; this one looks pretty good:
