I've been using squidguard for years. Its great - you can block/allow by user, workstation, time or url, and rewrite urls (for instance I can force all google image searches to be safe, and block certain search terms). I looked at dansguardian too but squidguard won my vote at the time (about 5 years ago). I don't know about any others. and there's what looks like an OK front end for it too (squidguard manager) or a webmin module but I've never used them in anger.
