Just some things :)
PHP can installed as a CGI, so you have the shebang up the top
#!/usr/bin/php
and then run that script on cron. So PHP can have cron jobs.
And the reason that search engines don't index the PHP pages is when they have the little pain in the neck "?" symbol in the URL. Using a neat little trick, writing the URL as...
http://www.domain.com/page.php/variable1/value1/variable2/value2/
And then access all that using the path_info global thingo - and splitting it up, you can pass values in URL's and have search engines use it. So a links page might look like...
http://www.site.com/page.php/action/add/template/snap/
In regards to question though, I think Links SQL is the best option to use. The actual features isn't really an issue, as it is easy to add stuff to existing scripts (Hacking them in, making a plug in might be a bit more work...), but the overall code/logic/backend of this script is so good - you will want to use it. This is coming from a PHP user - so don't think I'm a religious perl person that is trying to influence ya :)
