Hi I posted a question a little earlier and I had some replies that I should look at some different technologies. Which of the above (or other feel free to mention) is the most popular or best supported.

As stated in my earlier question I am learning ASP.Net MVC. I come from a Java struts background but I am prepared to try and learn what the majority of people are using in conjunction with ASP.Net MVC?

Edit: I did a quick Google Trends to try and pickup which is the most popular (assumming most searched = most popular = best supported, yes I know, a notion that is fraught with short falls) then LINQ is the best way to go:

LINQ to SQL is the easiest of them all. I would suggest you starting with LINQ to SQL.

NHibernate may seem closer to Java's Hibernate but I strongly suggest LiNQ to SQL as a starting point.

NHibernate is by far the best ORM in the .NET world.
