Hi Jared,
"Best solution" depends on what your requirements are.  ARD gives you the
status bar icon, but Casper VNC gives you logging, and the security of not
having the service running all the time, only when called for.

Notification on remote control exit would be a fine feature request.  In the
meantime, you could probably use an Applesscript, shell script or launch
daemon to detect when VNC closes and display a dialog.
