Fink, because it's all I've used :)
AFAIK, the main difference is that darwinports installs things into
/opt, fink into /sw. Both thus appear to keep things out of the main osx
system (good thing).
Fink has a lot more available packages.
Useful web development software I have installed using fink:
mysql
postgresql
phpmyadmin
sitecopy
lynx
tidy
amaya
konqueror
There are more...
