This is the first time I have heard of htpdate so I can't say anything
good or bad.  I know ntp works well here and the setup was not to hard. 
Run a couple commands and put the results in the ntp.conf and start the
service.  It just works here.  Heck, I'm on dial-up and it works pretty
good.  If I had a always on broadband, oh boy!!
