Most Flexible Photo Gallery Plugin?

Question

What is the most flexible photo gallery plugin available on WordPress?

By flexible, I mean a plugin that can:

create galleries per folder / event
display / generate thumbnails per size I want (it would be good to have an API/function for this)
display the most recent gallery from either certain event or all photos uploaded.

Is there any? Or something close to this?

What is a folder and what is a event? Just asking because I think that folders and events is nothing that wordpress has in core.
how should I say? per category? or 1 event = several photos or something like that

The most full featured one I've found is NextGEN gallery. It even has add-ons for specific functionality beyond what's built in.

PhotoSmash is quite flexible also. Some features:

create unlimited galleries and show multiple galleries on a post or page
extensive shortcode options
set multiple sizes of images to be created
resize images (unfortunately, doesn't have the javascript cropping function of NextGEN)
adds your uploaded images as WP Attachments so you can also use the standard WP gallery functions
allow site visitors to upload to galleries
create custom fields
create custom forms
create custom layouts
show tag, recent, highest rated, random, and contributor (virtual) galleries
widget for displaying mini galleries in sidebar
widget for Photo Tag Cloud
with PS Extend, can create new Posts on image uploads
and has its own iPhone App
