The latter is likely to have a shake-out period which the former has already weathered. Their performance is likely to be roughly comparable now, and their feature sets will diverge in the future, in favor of CQL. It depends on your priorities, only you know how much you care about the rawness of the python driver from Datastax. I do suggest that if you go with CQL, you go with the python driver from Datastax as the defacto standard. Certainly no other CQL client is likely to be less beta. =Rob
