My recomendation would be either SQL or LDAP fo ease of use reasons.
eDirectory, SunOne/RH/Fedora/Netscape DS, OpenLDAP are all good LDAP servers 
in descending order of Features.
Oracle, Postgresql, Mysql are all good SQL servers in descending order of 
Features.

Which one you pick is really up to your taste, budget and skillset more than

Personally we use Postgresql for most installations...
