I would definitly go for an ORM, at least if you are working on a big project, for which you don't want to use mysqli_* or PDO functions/methods directly -- Doctrine being the most developped/used, nowadays (It's the default ORM of the symfony Framework, and can be integrated in Zend Framework quite easily).

About the E_DEPRECATED errors, though : PHP 5.3 is quite young, and lots of libraries/software/projects have not been adapted yet -- you'll probably have lots of those in the next couple of months :-(
