We use OpenVPN for most things, and pptp (poptop) for connections where the OpenVPN client's aren't available (e.g. iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch).
Is there anything to make you choose pptp over IPSec? There are a number of issues with PPTP that'd make me push it down my list of ideal VPNs.
From personal experience, it's lighter weight to set up on the server,
it's compatible with Windows client's built-in VPN clients without emotianal pain or traume, it doesn't require awkward client setups of third party components, and it keeps you away from the very expensive and so feature-filled, it's useless mongolian !@#$!@$#! that is the Cisco tool suite.
