I would recommend proftpd.  Used it on a publically available ftp server
where I last worked.  The config file is very apache-like so it's pretty
easy to understand.  Supports both anonymous and "user" logins.  I've
heard proftpd is more secure then others, but then again, if you keep
your OS and software current, you should be ok with whatever you decide
to run.   

As far as user management, that was a manual process.  Since we didn't
have that many users and weren't adding them that frequently, we didn't
bother to automate the process.

If you have windows users, you might also look at WebDAV
