It really depends on what you want and what you're comfortable with.

For basic management of the server, use IFSOmkV.1- it keeps FLServer running and can be set to restart the server on a scheduled basis. It also allows you to manage players.

For remote control of the server, there are three options, either FLAdmin (runs as a telnet server), FLServerGuard/FLClient (proprietary connection), or a PC remote control option such as VNC and its relatives.

Once you've established yourself to Eagle's satisfaction, you will want to look into getting access to his program- FL Anti-Cheat (FLAC).

FLHook and FLShell are a couple new entries to this arena, and allow some management of the server from in-game, but I haven't really looked into either so I can't give you an informed opinion on their capabilities or effectiveness

FLshell is nice, but as it is it gives too much opportunity for players to abuse the otherwise intelligently-thought-out commands. Since it allows for remote banning of players in-game, it means that server admins can take action right then and there, if they catch someone doing something they shouldn't.

I second VNC as a great way to easily administer the Ioncross user interface, which means you don't even need to have a graphics card in your computer (Or just a cheap lil PCI one).
