recommendation of a Non-relational database with Ruby on Rails?

I want to start playing with non-relational database, but want something that is popularly used with Rails. I'm considering the ones in the article and leaning towards Voldemort or CouchDB:

Any recommendations?

MongoDB

See the getting started section for Rails

Edit

As pointed out by Dan, there was actually a Railscast episode about MongoDB today. The video there demonstrates how to use MongoDB with Rails. Thanks for sharing, Dan.

Great video, thanks!

Thanks. Also, I've heard CouchDB is quite slow compared to MongoDB and Voldemort
