Gdm is possibly the easiest to get going, but it does mean you install a 
bunch of gnome applications which you might not want. Lightdm can be 
good too if configured properly, but that takes a bit more work.


You could always forgo the display manager entirely and use startx at 
the console prompt to start your x session.
