You mean the other way around, don't you? Database First is recommended for an existing database. Code First creates a database from code. Model First is similar to Code First except you define the EF conceptual model using visual tools. In the latter two approaches the database is created based on the EF model.

>Entity Framework is considered the way to go now, but some devs use NHibernate instead. I suggest you look at Code First Entity Framework rather than Model First since the database is already defined.
