nslcd /nss-pam-ldapd would be the best choice, the code is quite mature since the basic LDAP functionality is ported from the old PADL code and well proven. It's also quite compact, it does just LDAP and nothing else. SSSD is unproven, and quite overloaded featurewise. For security/authentication software, complexity is the enemy of reliability. I shouldn't have to roll out that lecture again...
