ASP.NET

I'm going to start building some automated tests of our presentation soon. It seems that everyone recommends WatiN and Selenium. Which do you prefer for automated testing of ASP.NET web forms? Why did that product work better for you?

As a side note, I noticed that WatiN 2.0 has been in CTP since March 2008, is that something to be concerned about?
