ntp vs. ntp-server vs. ntp-simple vs. ntpdate?

What do all these different daemons/utilities do?

I'm trying to decide which is the simplest one I can use to keep my 
server periodically sync'ed to a local NTP server.

Microsecond accuracy is not particularly important.

Should I go for a daemon or something that runs in cron?

Thanks,
