i'm using userdb on 2.2.0 and it has been smooth sailing.   setup is easy.  
but there are several drawbacks:
-password is not encrypted.
-it's not maintained - probably means that it's stable. until a new version 
of zope changes this, of course.

i've tried GUF, but decided to stick with UserDB until i really have to 
change.  login manager, i havenot tried yet

note:  userdb are not installed on a fresh zope2.2.0, but upgraded from 
2.1.6.  but i do remember installing on a fresh zope2.2.0 and encountered no 
problems.
