I used both, but if I was in charge (and not my boss :) ) I would prefer Cayenne.

Cayenne has a very nice CayenneModeler, so you don't have to write any mapping code - just click your way an entire project in a few minutes.

If you have performance sensitive areas in you project, Cayenne has something called SQLTemplate - a very very efficient solution.

And last but not least, as a newbie or as a simple user, you get very fast very good solutions to your questions - as opposed to the Hibernate forums - just look how many questions are unanswered there.
