Be aware that FRAM wears on reads in addition to writes. And while the number
of accesses can be quite high, it is finite.

The other issues are always cost, availablility, and product lifetime in terms
of manufacturers keeping a part available.

Personally I'd go with the EEPROM unless write speed/endurance were a
significant issue.
