When push came to shove the choice for this project really came down to the merits of WilsonORMapper versus NHibernate.  They are the two true, non-code generating mappers that I investigated and each had their own pluses and minuses.  I choose WilsonORMapper for a couple key reasons; starting with that Paul Wilson, the creator, provides direct support for the product and the support site includes an active user forum where other users help each other and share advice and support.  Beyond this, Wilson provides staid examples explaining how to use the different features of WilsonORMapper at a very good price.

Compared to NHibernate, these features were much more important to me during this project than the open source community behind NHibernate.  I made the conscious choice to focus on a tool that could help me build my project as opposed to contributing to the tool’s project and would have support behind it.
