It sounds like I use a nearly identical setup to Tim. I ssh into my headless server and use the default client as packaged by gentoo, I used gentoo-stats for a while but I didn't need the extra info.
As for other clients Azerous is good, bittornado is supposed to be good but I have not used it. You might want to avoid some of the experimental clients as well as bittorrent++, torrent storm, and a few others as they don't properly handle the faststream data or properly inform the tracker when they have finished and are closing thier connection. I've seen this cause problems with some trackers in the past.
