You'd never finish. Start with a list of things you need the LDAP service to do e.g. requirements.
Some of those are going to cost you some serious coin.

Has anyone every done a comparison of the various LDAP servers out there? * Apache Directory Server * Apple Open Directory * CA Directory from CA, Inc. (formerly eTrust Directory) * eB2Bcom View500 * 389 Directory Server (formerly Fedora/Red Hat Directory Server) * IBM Tivoli Directory Server * Mandriva Directory Server * MXMS, from Atos Origin * M-Vault, from Isode Limited * Microsoft Active Directory * Novell eDirectory * OneLDAP An LDAP gateway to standard protocols like POP3 and IMAP. * OpenDS * OpenLDAP * Openwave LDAP Directory Server * Oracle Internet Directory * Penrose - a Java-based Virtual Directory Server. * Siemens DirX * SIDVault * Sun Java System Directory Server * tinyldap I'm relatively new here, and have heard that a number of our in-house applications are using non-Microsoft LDAP implementations (more than one vendor), no information as to why that decision was made. From what I have heard, it's a mess. I have a feeling there will eventually be discussions regarding this and I'd like to push for using Active Directory or AD LDS. But, I've never done a comparison of the others that are out there. I'd be interested in hearing others that have gone through this before.
