unless you need dnssec or ipv6 support that isnt already available for 
djbdns, i'd highly suggest djbdns.

i find djbdns to be extremely easy to work with; it's designed to be 
scripting friendly.  in addition, the project can even be called 
'finished', which is rare with an internet-exposed application.

I like using my own flavor of djbdns which is at 
http://jeremy.kister.net/code/djbdns-1.05.isp.patch.  don't let the name 
fool you, it's for much more than just an ISP.

I also have code at http://jeremy.kister.net/code/djbdns-stats/ which is 
a cute stats package that makes it easy to see what your server is doing 
as well as providing easy access to the info for graphing/monitoring.
