Well, this might be kind of off topic to this list. Let me make it short. :)

Swift is for object storage,  similar to Amazon S3. While Nova-vol service
(component inside Nova) is for block storage, similar to Amazon EBS. And in
latest OpenStack Folsom release, nova volume has bee forked to openstack
cinder project, to address the block storage functionality. While glance is
for VM image service.

So, it really depends on your needs, swift or cinder. Usually, cinder works
together with nova. Swift is much more independent.
