The one shipped with Squid will not work with Samba 3, whereas the one
that ships with Samba 3 will. That's a big advantage. :)

That is a choice only you can make. However, if you use AD now or plan
to use it in the future, I would recommend you use Samba 3 - the
integration is much better and lets you take advantage of the improved
security of AD over the NT 4 domain model.

Note that there is a Perl-based winbind_group helper that works with
Samba 3, so you don't have to give up the group support in Squid if
you move to Samba 3.
