I've managed both TWiki and MediaWiki installs. (My TWiki experiance is 
~3 years old. I currently manage some MediaWiki sites.) Based on my 
experience MediaWiki is much easier from an admin side. I remember 
upgrades of TWiki being a major pain since there wasn't a clean 
separation between content and config. MediaWiki upgrades have been 
reasonably easy.

As far as access control, we've simply created a new wiki when we need 
to have content that's limited to a closed group. Using Symlinks it's 
easy to have one main install and then just wiki specific configuration 
files for each different wiki.
