IPSec is more standards-oriented, secure and more powerful.

If you wish to have one PC VPN'ing into work then I would recommend simply
using a IPSec client and personal firewall on that machine. If you want
your whole home network to be visible from work I would recommend either
installing a firewall with IPsec site-to-site functionality behind your ADSL
router, or building a *hardened* linux box and using the freely available
IPSec client on it.

Of course, it all depends on how much access you want to your work network
from home, what existing security infrastructure your work has, how much
your work are willing to compromise the security of their network, and how
much money you or your work want to spend. :-)
