I do B for customers all the time.  Once it's set up, webmin is so easy
even MCSE's can maintain it -- all point and click.  Actually it's about
10 times easier than Windoze once it's running.

Personally, I put sendmail, BIND 9, Apache, FTP (w/ root in the domain
web tree so they can ftp their files in).  Brain dead simple.

Go for B.
