LDAP is the more powerfull option availabe, but you won't be able to use any nice front-end like linuxconf, webmin, the Red Hat User Manager, etc. It'll take some time and effort to deploy LDAP specially if hou have not used it before... NIS is a much easier setup and allow you to use most easy admin front-ends.
