Based just on what David has quoted here I think that it's probably a good
one to look at.  wu-ftpd has in the past been noted for its security
problems and I would tend to shy away from it.  NcFTPd looked very
attractive if you can justify the cost, principally for the same features
as glFTPd advertises.
