Any particular reason for doing so?  I chose the Hibernate path due to 
the maturity of the Hibernate project, and the available online 
resources for the underlying engine, but was pleased to see that there 
was a choice for JPA implementation (which is incredibly important when 
you need to select a technology which may have to be maintained for many 
years).  The more implementations the less chance for them all to wither :D
