I know this may be a question about personal preferences.

But, in terms of: speed / memory usage / ease of configuration/ licensing , which is the best VNC server you know?

I have tried TightVNC, TigerVNC, UltraVNC and RealVNC , but right now I can't figure out which one is the best (any of these I listed or any other) in terms of what I worried about right now (speed/consumption/config/licensing).

What are your best choices?

I found out that when I press the Insert key on the client I will block the OS X VNC server by putting it in a "help mode" where you get the question mark mouse cursor.
