Pick Hspec if…
It suits Haskell developers who want readable specification-style tests with property testing and compatibility with HUnit. Projects using Cabal, Stack, or GHCi can pass Hspec options through those tools.
Pick ScalaCheck if…
ScalaCheck is suited to developers testing Scala or Java code with randomized property checks. It fits projects using sbt or the listed testing integrations, and can also be run standalone.
