Now this is a real question, and it should be in Seekers of Perl Wisdom. However, here is a brief opinion:

None of the tools you mention here are widely used. That doesn't mean they stink, but it does mean they are either too new or not generally useful enough to have attracted many followers.

One friend of mine did try DBIx::Abstract, and liked it, but in general I think the most efficient way to build a simple query application is the most obvious: use CGI and DBI. SQL isn't hard, and I generally find it much easier to write it directly than to use any of the abstraction layers I've tried. CGI is dirt simple, and it's easy to add in templating if you want to, with a popular module like Template Toolkit or HTML::Template.

If these really seem too low-level to you, I would suggest you post your question in Seekers of Perl Wisdom, and phrase it along the lines of "What's a good high-level tool for quickly building simple database editing apps?"
