FTP server

I need to set up a non-anonymous, hopefully secure FTP server.  After
reading through the pros/cons of a bunch of different server programs I
have almost settled on PROFTPD.  Is there a better option?  PROFTPD will
run as a non-root account, and was better recommended than wu-ftp.  But,
I am finding that all FTP servers are basically vunerable to breaking
out of a chroot() jail for a user's root directory.  Is this something
to really be worried about?
