Had not even heard of grab, comparing the features on grab github to scrapy seems to be similar to scrapy but a little more minimalist in features atm maybe being newer project ??
Scrapy would have a slightly higher learning curve initially due to the components, spiders/pipelines etc but i think more robust long term. Grab would seem better if i just had some small xpath and wanted to quickly hit a site or file. Notably grab didnt state css selectors on its page which Scrapy has. If you don't mind Ruby Nokogiri is great. Personally seeing jquery and/or xquery selectors would be great though if XML would just die then no need for xquery.
