The choice of technology you use shouldn't be taken lightly - if you choose wrong it can complicate, or even make success impossible.
I think it's a good idea to err on the side of using stable, proven solutions that enjoy a large amount of help documentation, and have a high amount of skilled workers able to offer 3rd party support.
If there's a new technology in your domain and you're curious about using it - before you adopt it, ask yourself:
Sometimes new technology is driven by solving real problems, and you'll be able to check off those items, adopt it, and benefit from time-saving, or complexity-saving advances in your field. Other times things are 'new' but not 'novel', there's no value in something just being more freshly made if it's not better.
