If you wish to solicit suggestions on this, you might want to give 
some examples of what you intend to do. MurgaLua looks to me like 
a good prepackaged Lua distribution -- which is great if that's 
what you want. There are other binaries to choose from, or you can 
compile your own. We cannot tell you for sure what the best option 
is, because we know too little of what you intend to do.

Miko has demonstrated in the other posting on using alien to bind 
to SDL in a beautifully simple manner. If you look around, there 
are other SDL bindings around. But as far as I know, there is 
nobody who is providing a ready-to-use SDL library binding for Lua 
that is maintained and supported. The LuaSDL on LuaForge should be 
considered prototyping material for playing around with, and no 
support is provided.

So anyone who wants to use SDL should perhaps search for an actual 
game engine that uses Lua (which would provide far better support 
and facilities than LuaSDL ever would -- which is why it is a 
little pointless for LuaSDL to duplicate such existing engines), 
or else the person might need to compile (and maintain) something 
on his/her own.

If you are not writing a game, you can probably already do a whole 
lot using murgaLua without ever needing to touch SDL.

So, without knowing more about your needs, nobody can really tell 
you what's best except yourself.
