guice

I'm building a new web application that uses Linux, Apache, Tomcat, Wicket, JPA/Hibernate, and MySQL. My primary need is Dependency Injection, which both Spring and Guice can do well. I think I need transaction support that would come with Spring and JTA but I'm not sure.

The site will probably have about 20 pages and I'm not expect huge traffic.

Should I use Spring or Guice?

Feel free to ask and followup questions and I'll do my best to update this.
