UnrealIRCd is probably one of the more popular ones with quite a few
features and a pretty easy config file syntax. It's what I run on my
network currently, and it's been great stability wise. It has some extra
features such as spamfilters, halfop status, and other bells and
whistles. There are a few features when dealing with multiple servers
that I personally wish it had, but I don't know of any other one that
has 100% of everything I need so it's probably the best choice for me now.

Another nice one is FreeNode's Hyperion. It has a vary different config
file syntax than Unreal (maybe a bit more difficult) but it's also a
nice IRCD. It's not in ports, but the site is here:

I'd say try a few and see which ones you like best. Another one to try
might be IRCu, although I have not played with that one in a couple
years. If you need services, I like Anope (it's in ports).
