Ask HN: Rails Searching Ferret or Sphinx?

I am implementing full text search in my web application and I can't decide between Ferret or Sphinx. Does anyone have feedback?

I can say that I've used both on a couple of projects and thus far sphinx with the thinking sphinx plugin has been the best option for me.
