I think the more pertinant question would be, What environment will you be running.. ?

Well, Apache is the most common httpd out there (supports php, perl, MySQL, etc). But a similar free ftpd is more difficult to come by (I haven't found any good ones). Like Kodo said, what do you want to be able to do?
