The only problem with IPSec is you need static IP addresses for the
tunnelling mode (unless somebody knows something I don't, at which point I'd
really like to hear about it!).

OpenVPN is about as good as it gets stability wise, and can customised,
hacked, and altered in any way you need. It can also use public key
authentication.
