Pods cms and “advanced custom fields” plugin

Question

We are planning to build a quite big database to store data for our 5000 yearly subscribers association.

We were considering pods cms for our needs since it permits a good flexibility in building a complex website and is performance aware while managing the database.

But recently I red on the pods cms website that they're having some funding problems, so they're struggling reaching the 2.0 milestone.

We're afraid that the development could stop.

On the other side we found "advanced custom fields" that also seems a good alternative. Furthermore it has a stronger business model.

So what would you suggest me to do?
