I would use either:

a) whatever you are already comfortable with.
b) something new because you have the time to experiment and learn.
c) whatever the chief cook and architect tells you to use.
d) whatever is the most appropriate to ensure easy access to your chosen data provider.

I'm currently using EF4 and it seems straightforward enough with Sql Server. Used LinqtoSql on the last project and that was really easy (though looks like it is no longer supported - pity).

Good luck.
