I've honestly given fairly little of my time to Ferret, though I have tinkered with it some and it is mighty fine! Believe you me, I don't want to steal any thunder from Ferret. And I've not compared/contrasted them much myself. Truth be told I'm still a Java dude, and knowing that Lucene and Solr are in Java, excel at what they are designed to do and already gulping the Apache cool-ade I really dig Solr. I've presented solr+ruby a couple of times now, once at RailsConf and then again a few weeks ago at rubyconf. RailsConf: <http://www.ehatchersolutions.com/~erik/SolrOnRails.pdf> rubyconf: <http://code4lib.org/files/solr-ruby.pdf> acts_as_solr as it exists today is sub-optimal compared to acts_as_ferret. I'm quite admittedly not much into relational databases so I have only tinkered in this area myself.
