Bestest FTP server?

What are the majority of sysadmins using for an FTP program nowadays? I used to run ProFTP but was wondering if someone had something better.

pretty secure?

vsftpd is what I use, but I miss proftpd, it's still a fine ftp server, but I don't use it enough to want to switch back. you don't have nearly the range of options with vsftp as you do with proftp.

Very Secure ftp.

I have installed proftpd in lots of production servers. It has been running flawlessly. I used MySQL authentication for virtual users(not creating real users on the os). DaWallace was talking about range of options proftpd has, i think it has more possibilities than the rest.
I tried wu-ftpd and vsftp in the past and they were ok. wu-ftpd has a gui to configure lots of stuff and was easier than vsftp to configure in few minutes...
