I read an article comparing the performance of sunspot and thinking sphinx ( http://www.vijedi.net/2010/ruby-full-text-search-performance-thinking-sphinx-vs-sunspot-solr/ ). As per the article sunspot drags a lot behind thinking sphinx since it uses xml to interact with java layer. This is the result mentioned there
Runs Thinking Sphinx Sunspot
5000 38.49 1611.60
10000 38.54 1648.51
15000 39.06 1614.52
20000 38.86 1583.53
25000 39.78 1613.79
30000 38.83 1595.60
35000 38.34 1571.96
40000 38.06 1631.87
45000 37.57 1603.31
50000 38.23 1634.53
Total 385.80 16109.26
Is there really such a difference? Is sunspot really slower? or is the article just biased? Which Full Text Search Engine would you guys recommend?

If you look at the comments on that article, it seems that the author is not biased, but that the times aren't a reliable comparison of the two libraries.
I'm the author of Thinking Sphinx, so of course I think it's a viable option and should serve you well - but sometimes Solr (or a different option again) will be a better fit. Both Thinking Sphinx and Sunspot are well-maintained and used widely - certainly, Thinking Sphinx supports Rails 3 and 3.1 and won't be disappearing any time soon.
I would recommend trying one or the other out, seeing how it works - unless you're dealing with a site that's massive, then search is unlikely to be a bottleneck, so go with what you feel more comfortable with.
