Choosing between Ruby on Rails or Node.js

For building a typical web application such as Quikr, what stack would you suggest?

Ruby on Rails (ROR) was quite popular but it seems in last 2 years,  more people are choosing Node.js over it. Are there more developers available with Node.js skills than ROR? When should one for for ROR vs Node.js?

Go for ROR if your developers have good experience on it already. Rails has a solid, multithreaded architecture and Ruby is much cleaner programming language than an "uncertain" JavaScript.

Go for Node, if you're starting a new project. It's performance is much faster and has lower learning curve.

Node.js also has more developers available. However, finding the ones who write clean Node.JS code are harder to find due to lower barriers to entry in this technology.

Well, I haven't used ROR but I can say why I would prefer Node.js. If I was starting out new and my app is more of a carrier and doesn't have much processing then Node.js is the way to go. The backend will store the data which needs to be passed on to the UI or whoever is calling. The other benefit is that Node.js follows the javascript paradigm so you can have Full Stack Javascript developers to work both on the frontend and backend which is great to start out new.

Is using JSON Web Token based authentication on the web safe?
We've been using cookie based authentication on web using PassportJS. But recently started using JSON Web Token based authentication for android app. Is it safe / does it make sense, to move the web authentication method to token based authentication instead of continuing cookie / session based auth? (Just to keep the auth method consistent across platforms)
