Org-Babel and ESS are not really alternatives; in fact the complement
each other nicely. Org gives you a lightweight markup language, and a
way to embed source code blocks. You can edit/evaluate/test R source
code blocks using ESS.

Basically if you're using R in emacs you want to be using ESS. You can
also use org-mode to easily create reports, slides, etc. with embedded
R code.
