node.js database

node.js mongodb couchdb redis

I'm looking for a database to pair with a node.js app. I'm assuming a json/nosql db would be preferable to a relational DB [I can do without any json/sql impedance mismatch]. I'm considering:

  • couchdb
  • mongodb
  • redis

Anyone have any views / war stories re compatiability/deployability of the above with node.js? Any clear favorites?
