Personallly I would use EF. EF is a true OR/M where Linq 2 Sql is mostly a SQL obfuscator. With EF you can save/load and manage your objects where with Linq2Sql you still need to know the sql and data structure but you are pretending you don't.

On BASTA! Spring 2010, a presenter said the following:
"Don't choose Linq2Sql if you are starting a new project, the team that developed it, doesn't exist anymore. Choose EF 4.0. This is the way to go. Linq2Sql was merely one possible way which we decided to not follow anymore."

I have not used any of them, but just wanted you to give a heads up if you start using Linq2Sql. It seems as the future for Linq2Sql is very uncertain, and Microsoft might make it obsolete in favor for EF. Something for you to consider when deciding upon which technology to use.
