I have not tried Rails Admin, but Active Admin is pretty nice. Active Admin is flexible in the sense that it allows you to configure the admin panel over a long length, but requires a little knowledge of Rails (and Ruby) and a few conventions here and there.
There is a good video on this site dedicated to Active Admin active admin @ railscast.com
I personally prefer to manage objects directly from the first page (authorization, sessions, etc.), but in general it depends on what you intend to do for the website. Itβs useful to use the admin panel to solve e-commerce, but on the other hand, I find it superfluous for the blog;).
hope this helps!
