There have been a few projects to add user input, and I have not followed them very closely. But I think Geoserver was designed with user input from the inception. A combo like Mapbuilder (client) and Geoserver might be a pretty tight package. Look also at what geometry types the different solutions really support. Points are easy, lines a pretty easy, closed polygons are harder. Do you need to snap? Do you need to move and/or edit objects? That's what separates the out the big dogs.
