As a server owner, I prefer not to use mods which are disabled by default on my servers, as this may make it more difficult for inexperienced players to play on the server. However, I have noticed that some interesting mods are disabled for default - why is this?
 
Depends on which ones you mean. Mods are usually disabled because they have world damaging features(meteorcraft), are very graphic and was deemed unfit for small children(blood magic), or as you mention because they make things more difficult(special mobs, lycanites mobs).

A lot of the other disabled mods are minimaps(obviously not for the server pack).
 
If you look around in the right place (modpack wikis mostly) you frequently find, in addition to the mod list, the "disabled" mod list, with an extremely useful note for those disable ones explaining the reason.

@rhn mentioned minimaps, which are generally incompatible with each other. That one's becoming more and more prevalent. Another is mods which may be particularly cpu/gpu-intensive.
