I've been using openntpd for some time myself. The reason I did so was 
because you can put this in the config:
listen on 192.168.1.2

Very handy when you have multiple interfaces and do not want it 
listening on public interfaces. I'm of the opinion that a daemon should 
have the option on what interfaces it listens. Firewalls are there to 
protect, not as a workaround for an application that lacks critical 
features.
