MediaWiki is probably the most standard Wiki software (ie. Wikipedia and 
friends) and it's written in PHP.  It also supports ReST as noted in 
this thread.  I've never heard of DocuWiki though, it looks interesting 
too.  I haven't looked at PMWiki yet.

MediaWiki has that going for it, for sure.  It's probably also top of 
the pile in security and stability (assumption based on its widespread 
use).  Personally I don't feel too strongly about which software, but I 
would think something familiar to people who may edit other Wikis would 
be good.

MediaWiki is also in the Debian repositories (at least for Squeeze). 
I'm not sure though what distro the server is running or if having a 
package even matters.

Thanks,
