From a relative newbie point of view, wdm is the one I finally settled 
on, even though I run predominantly gnome apps.
The recent gdm/locales/console mess I simply didn't need.
I find wdm is as functional as I need it to be and stable, more 
attractive to the eye than xdm, and without any gaudy overkill to take 
up space.
I don't use KDE so haven't used kdm.
