I used Tastypie for a project recently and was pretty happy with it. I think Piston was the preferred package before Tastypie came about, but Piston hasn't seen as much development recently. Then again, Piston seems to be good enough for Bitbucket, so it's probably good enough for many projects.
Sorry I can't offer much technical advice on this topic, as I'm no expert on either package. To answer your question, though: to me, Tastypie "feels" like the preferred package currently.
