Best Directory Software?

[blackhorse]

If I wanted to start my own directory, what software can someone recommend to setup on my site?

Of course I want something that has built in SEO benefits, allows user generated directory entries, etc.

Any ideas on who to go with?

Although I haven't run my own directory, I can see that the majority of directories are run off phpLD (PHP Link Directory Script)

as far as I can see 90% of all directories are unprofitable, though.

Unless you have a specific focus for yours.
