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.
