Well,  JAXB is by far the best supported in CXF considering that's what JAX-WS 
requires.   All the tooling is there, it's well tested, etc...   JAXB also 
is, in general, the fastest if perfomance is a super important metric.  

The main downside of JAXB compared to some other options for general XML use 
is that it IS a bit lossy.   Stuff it doesn't know about when parsing gets 
completely skipped/ignored.   Comments/Whitespace is discarded.  Etc...   
Thus, you cannot "round trip" xml through JAXB.
