3. Hibernate validators are not too bad for basic validations
I've always felt that EOF should have more out-of-the-box model- defined validation support
I'm not so sure about EOF doing this -- I quite like being able to organise this in-code and I think it is one of those things that something like PW can add-on without having to put too much into the basic frameworks.
Admittedly, validation in the model is a bit of a religious debate. I think there's a lot of value that can be derived by model-defining it in that you can things like have the UI automatically do richer validation without custom-coding it, and if they're written declaratively, you can actually generate client-side validations that don't require a server roundtrip to just tell the user that you aren't allowed to say you have more than 25 children (or whatever). Anjo, I believe, is also adamantly against model-based validations too, though. I don't know if this helps or hurts your case ;)

I don't think that the two are mutually exclusive. In such a situation it is plainly better to have more options.
