Normally, I would say hardened-sources, however it's quite a bit behind in 
kernel world. It's still in 2.4.20, which had some nasty security flaws, and 
I wouldn't trust it too much. I'm running a Gentoo-Hardened machine with 
SELinux (my router), so naturally I'm using the somewhat vanilla 
selinux-sources. For a server, gs or wolk would do. WOLK has a LOT of patches 
in it, some of which you might not want, so you'd need to know what to ditch 
at configure time. GSS is used on the LiveCD and is quite stable. After all 
this talk, I'd say it's a toss-up between GSS and WOLK.
