Need a good ORM for Node.js

I have a Node project which uses Express and MySQL, but I need an ORM. I have heard good things about Waterline.

What can you tell me about which ORM to use? Do I need Sales.JS if I want Waterline?

I have a new project so it's the best time for new frameworks, and would consider Sales.JS is there was real benefit. But I do consider the current framework to be MVC, which I suspect comes from Express: Models, Views and Routes.

I like Waterline since I may need MongoDb at some point, but expect to use MySQL exclusively, for a long while.

Thanks!

So, Sailsjs makes it easy to export all the features of Waterline?
