I'd say that you should use OpenLayers if you want a really mature, massive
library with tons of features, supporting myriads of GIS data formats,
layers etc., but if you don't need much more than just a map with some tile
layers, markers, popups and vectors on it, and want a faster and smaller
library that is easier to use and works well under mobile browsers too, try
Leaflet.
