[Full disclosure -- I have initiated JNVDL development -- it is project
of my student.]

oNVDL is faster and can validate larger documents (it operates in
streaming mode) while JNVDL provides better error messages (because it
uses MSV instead of Jing for RELAX NG validation).

So I think it is a matter of taste and you can try both and then
regularly use one which you more prefer.

BTW: I think it is very good that there is sort of "competition" between
oNVDL and JNVDL. Having more then one implementation disclosed some grey
areas in NVDL specification (implementations behaved differently) which
lead to correction of NVDL specification and implementations. Also
having more implementations means that new technology like NVDL can be
considered more mature and ready to deploy.
