 Qpopper seems to be widely used.

 However, take a look at the whole picture first. 

 What MTA are you using? or going to use?

 I have a bunch of machines that run quite happily with sendmail and
qpopper.

 I have a few others that use exim-sql, vmail-sql and tpop3d to provide a
very slick virtual hosting email system.

 In the first case, qpopper works well.

 In the second case, tpop3d is the only way to go.

 The "best" pop program will vary, depending on what MTA you're using and
what you're trying to accomplish.
