I've worked with both. I prefer DerelictLua, because you have
more direct control. But be prepared to deal with Lua stacks and
its C API, which can be a bit annoying at times. You'll probably
start writing you own D wrappers for convenience (that's where
D's templates shine) and end up with something like LuaD - which
makes you appreciate LuaD even more.
