WatiN or Selenium?

I'm going to start coding some automated tests of our presentation soon. It seems that everyone recommends WatiN and Selenium. Which do you prefer for automated testing of ASP.NET web forms? Which of these products work better for you?

As a side note, I noticed that WatiN 2.0 has been in CTP since March 2008, is that something to be concerned about?

Just want to say that I'm currently working hard on a beta release of WatiN 2.0 somewhere in Q1 of 2009. It will be a major upgrade to the current CTP 2.0 versions and will basically give you the same functionality to automate FireFox and IE as version 1.3.0 offers for automating IE.

So no concerns there.

Hope this helps in making your choice Jeroen van Menen Lead dev WatiN

I've used both, they both seem to work ok. My nod is for Selenium as it seemed to have better Ajax support. I believe WaTiN has matured though since last I used it so it should have the same thing.

The biggest thing would be which development environment do you like to be in? Selenium and Watin have recorders but Selenium is in the browser and watin is in visual studio. + and -'s to both of those
