Propel - for - generates friendly methods - e.g.
$user->getBankAccount()->getName() etc; handles auto increment or custom
pkey fields etc. Pretty safe from SQL Injection.
       - for - used by symfony
       - for - v1.3 uses PDO and is therefore pretty quick
       - for - you can define validators to apply to fields, so giving
you additional data validation checks

      - against - memory usage
      - against - xml file used to define database (this may be good or
bad depending on your PoV)
      - against - deployment might be a pain, especially if you're
trying to get 3rd parties to install it.
