Ease of development was our number one reason to use Stripe for sure. We did end up adding Paypal after and it was a pain to work with. Stripe was so reliable that we had clickety-test that used their real sandbox API to make sure in our CI that payment kept working. Whenever someone brings up Stripe it always brings happy memories. I've never worked with a third party API that was as nice as theirs. Their Ruby SDK helped with that of course.
