Kerberos and PAM address two different aspects of system security. PAM's goal is to provide a flexible system, with Kerberos as just one of the available authentication backends; Kerberos seeks security an single sign-on capabilities with a unified system. PAM excels at providing support for local applications that need to authenticate users, whereas I prefer Kerberos for client-server applications. Since it sounds like you're concerned mostly with network services, I recommend Kerberos as a better fit for your applications.
