That depends on your requirements.  I need the features of ProFTPd at my
office but that doesn't mean that you need it.  Of the two you
specified, only vsftpd is supported by Red Hat.  However, Red Hat has
changed FTP servers in the past (wu-ftpd was the standard in RHEL 2.1)
and they could just as easily change for RHEL 5 - I haven't seen
anything to suggest that they'll stay with vsftpd or switch.

If vsftpd has the features you need, I would suggest that you use it
because it gives you a fully supported ftp daemon.  You'll get your
updates from the same place you get the rest of the distribution
updates.
