I've been reasonably happy with both openswan and strongswan
(http://www.strongswan.org).  openvpn looks very interesting although
non-standard.  I have not tried it.  I have not used racoon.

I believe fwbuilder (http://www.fwbuilder.org) provides a GUI interface
to setting up *swan.  ISCS (http://iscs.sourceforge.net) provides a GUI
front end to automatically create and distribute VPN, firewall, NAT and
routing rules without stepping on each other and, for your road
warriors, allows extended user authentication to be used throughout the
WAN without having to reassign internal IP addresses but it has not yet
released code.

Hope this helps - John
