I like cPanel or Vdeck about evenly - although I have heard that Vdeck introduces performance problems, the UI is friendly enough

I dislike Plesk - server admin has to handle a lot of tasks - db admin is by domain not by user (phpmyadmin) - not able to archive or decompress on the file manager - strange permission problems pop up that aren't issues in cPanel

I recently had experience installing the same files in Plesk subdomains and cPanel subdomains - cPanel worked right away, but on Plesk server admin had to set conf files for some of them to work but others worked right away...

As I am just learning this

As I am just learning this side of things, preference isn't something I could comment on.

Currently am using Cpanel/WHM
The control is for a 7 server cluster, 5 servers on centos 4.x (.1 I think), the other 2 servers are ubuntu

Apache 2.x on 6 servers, and one with lighttpd
PHP is 5.26 on all servers

There are 5 websites on the cluster, but there is hardly any RAM or CPU usage (other than the odd PEAK now and then), so reselling some of the resources is the current project.
