I have only used mpd5 from the ports, but I find it very reliable and
efficient.  We have LNS boxes that handle close to 700 endpoints at a
time with ~ 300Mb of traffic. We use FreeRADIUS for backend
authentication.  The config and CLI are not my favorite, but generally I
dont find myself making many changes.
