Well it really depends on your security needs. If you only have a few roles in your system auth-roles might be quicker to set up but if you have tons of roles, and need to grant or deny access not only based on some acl but also on data you have about the current user you will find swarm is easier to customize / configure. This does not mean swarm is not suitable for small time security stuff, the basic actions you get from swarm will set you you up just fine for that, it also does not mean you cannot use auth-roles if your security constraints are heavy.
Also swarm is perfectly set up for acl, if you know jaas you will feel right at home with swarm. I do think however you have to turn over the acl from acegi to swarm, or we need to write a plugin that redirects to acegi. but i know far too little about acegi to give you a conclusive answer on that. check out the examples and see for your self http://wicketstuff.org/confluence/display/STUFFWIKI/Wicket-Security+Examples although the control lists or policy files are very small in the examples, we have a project spanning several files each contains close to a thousand lines.
