    Basic version of MAMP is quite nice ...

    I ran into a number of issues with XAMPP on the mac so I'd steer clear of that


    edit:

    I use these cus its easy its quick to get up and running with it... if you need more control obviously you can go a different route and install it all yourself

    For me though ... MAMP (Mac Apache Mysql PHP ... with phpmyadmin ... preinstalled and a few other bits) is great ..

    well as I said ... it depends on the amount of control you require


    What I've always liked about the Wamp / Mamp / Xampp style set ups ... is that you're up and running just like that ...

    If you require more control on your server ... maybe think about installing a VM .... taking a snapshot of it so that if you ever do something bad you can revert ... but thats just an idea and may be over kill depending on your needs
