I'm not qualified to give you pros and cons but I use the file and ftp
backends more than others. All users have access to the file backend
that is "rooted" in their virtual home directory:
'vfsroot' => '/home/virtual/' . $vdomain . '/' . $uid,
They can use it to upload files for thir personal web pages, etc.
I usually use ftp for admins and have additional access. IMO, your ftp
backend and its configurability is very important. I personally use
proftpd for several years, first because of mod_ldap, thanks John, and
its configuration options.

Since I only have virtual users and use LDAP for most all
authentication, I use horde/passwd to change passwords for not only all
horde apps, ftp, imap, apache authentication, etc. So if I were to use
SquirlMail, I could change my password with horde/passwd. When If I
use phpMyAdmin, I control passwords with horde/passwd be it good or bad
;)
I hope this helps a bit.
