When to use CouchDB over MongoDB and vice versa

Question

I am stuck between these two NoSQL databases.

In my project I will be creating a database within a database. For example, I need a solution to create dynamic tables.

So users can create tables with columns and rows. I think either MongoDB or CouchDB will be good for this, but I am not sure which one. I will also need efficient paging as well.

Ask this questions yourself? And you will decide your DB selection.

1. Do you need master-master? Then CouchDB. Mainly CouchDB supports master-master replication which anticipates nodes being disconnected for long periods of time. MongoDB would not do well in that environment.
2. Do you need MAXIMUM R/W throughput? Then MongoDB
3. Do you need ultimate single-server durability because you are only going to have a single DB server? Then CouchDB.
4. Are you storing a MASSIVE data set that needs sharding while maintaining insane throughput? Then MongoDB.
5. Do you need strong consistency of data? Then MongoDB.
6. Do you need high availability of database? Then CouchDB.
7. Are you hoping multi databases and multi tables/ collections? Then MongoDB
8. You have a mobile app offline users and want to sync their activity data to a server? Then you need CouchDB.
9. Do you need large variety of querying engine? Then MongoDB
10. Do you need large community to be using DB? Then MongoDB
