I'm biased since I am the maintainer of ruby-libvirt, but I think
you should stick with ruby-libvirt :).  I do more active maintenance of the
bindings than what I saw in the "libvirt" gem, and since I monitor the libvirt
list I keep a very up-to-date with what is going on.  The downside is that
if you are using anything but MRI, the ruby-libvirt bindings won't work.  Since
most people are not, this is not usually an issue, but it is something to
consider.
