Well... How many choices would you like? There's bound to have
to be a finite number and, in this case, the number is greater than two.
There is also dhcpclient which comes with the ISC dhcp server. So you
have three choices.
Have you run into a situation where nether pump or dhcpcd worked?
I have a problem that I would like to stop them from adding a default route
on me, but I still have a workaround (removing it in the startup scripts)
and both seem to work for me (on RedHat 6.x - the 7.x pump doesn't work).
Others have claimed that dhcpclient is actually more configurable
and more versatile than either pump or dhcpcd. I can't verify that, as I
don't know enough about it to really say.
I keep meaning to look at dhcpclient to see if it will do exactly
what I want but with so little time as is and so much to do, as long
as dhcpcd is working for me I don't have any incentive to look at dhcpclient
to see if it would be any better. :-) I just know that pump would be
worse.
