We started with MrProject, then moved to planner, which appears to be a 
spin off of MrProject.  We choose planner because you could write the 
data to a database.  Limited reports, but you can generate them by 
project and you can do multiple projects.  I don't know if the data 
between projects is correlated in any way.  That is to say, if you've 
got Joe working 40 hours next week on project A, will that show up as a 
conflict if you try to schedule him for 40 hours on project B?

Also, we could not get it to work on a database unless it was on the 
same machine.  I started looking at the code and figured out that it was 
ignoring the host value.  Hadn't gotten beyond that though.
