Preferred authentication mechanism - LDAPS or startTLS

Hi group,

I'm currently looking into LDAP authentication and would like to know about what is the preferred authentication mechanism.  If I want to use TLS for authentication, should I use LDAPS or startTLS?

From my understanding, LDAPS was introduced in LDAPv2 and startTLS is introduced in LDAPv3.

I surfed on the Internet, and it appears that startTLS should be deprecating LDAPS but a lot of people are still using LDAPS today.

Beside startTLS, what are some other popular LDAP authentication mechanisms that is widely use in today's enterprise world?

Thanks!

David
