You can use them interchangeably.
If you go with EJB3, you’ll have to have a full Java EE, EJB3 app server. Some are free, some are not.
If you go with Spring 3, you need to have the Spring JARs in your CLASSPATH, but a full Java EE app server is not required. Tomcat or Jetty are sufficient, depending on your needs.
There are multiple vendors for EJB3 implementations; after all, EJB3 is merely a specification. There’s only one vendor for Spring.
Personally, I prefer Spring. I’ve used it for six years, since version 1.0, with great success. It’s a very high quality framework. EJB3 took a great deal from the lessons learned by Spring and Hibernate. I think Spring’s aspect-oriented programming is better than what has been added to EJB3. The other modules (e.g. security, LDAP, web services, etc.) are excellent.
