Correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK Hector is the only higher level APi I would consider "complete' right now, with support for things like fail-over.
I notice in the latest Hector build he is starting to add CQL support, so thats what I'm sticking with. When he has CQL support done I'll decide if I want to use it or stick with the programmatic API.
