My current favourite is Samhain (http://la-samhna.de/samhain/) It is a little tricky to set up initially -- you have to read all the documentation first and compile it specifically for your target (it is aggressively paranoid) -- but it can be configured to use multiple logging channels, it knows about ACls and SELinux contexts, and version 3 uses inotify so resource impact is minimal. Also can be configured to just look at your web root and ignore your uploads directory.
