I've been using ezjail and I like it.

Benefits:

    - one less script I have to write and maintain

    - mounts /usr/sbin (etc.) read-only.

    - is actively being worked on

The flavors stuff is under construction and I have not been able to get 
that to work properly yet.  I did a bunch of work but ran into problems 
with FreeBSD packages; for example:

(1) cannot package screen utility

(2) apache13+modssl + php4 combo must be built from ports (at least 
    according to the googling I did).

(3) having one box build packages gets tricky when you have a variety of 
    apache + php combos.  it was an excersize in combinatorics that I 
    preferred to bypass.
