Cloudant vs JustOneDB - Which one to choose?


I am trying to decide which add-on DB to use with my application when I deploy it on AppHarbor. I've two choices: JustOneDB or Cloudant. I am planning to develop a web and mobile application, which will should work with Terabytes of data.

I am searching for the easiest solution to deploy my database, without me needing to partition the DB and the tables. I want a DB that can handle a very large amount of data, but takes the sharding and partitioning architecture building away from the developer.

I also want a solution that will allow me to easily backup my large database and easily restore it.

From what I've read, Cloudant and JustOneDB are the two most popular ones, and those are available as add-ons on AppHarbor for easy deployment.

I need your recommendations on which one I should go with, the cons and pros of each one. I am developing my application in ASP.NET and C# inside Visual Studio.
