Play! framework - ORM

Question

From the Play! framework docs:

There is no built-in JPA implementation in Play 2.0; you can choose any available implementation. For example, to use Hibernate, just add the dependency to your project:

• What are my option rather than Hibernate?
• What do you think is well-suited for a message-board website?
• I understood Hibernate has a little overhead, is that right?
