Recommended IMAP server?

Hi,
I find myself needing to implement IMAP on FreeBSD. Any suggestions
on the "preferred" IMAP server?
It appears that we have three "main" IMAP daemons in ports: imap-wu,
cyrus-imapd, and courier-imap. I need to pick one. My mail system
uses Sendmail+sasl2 and milter-greylist. I want to stick as close to
a "stock" FreeBSD as possible, so I'm not into reading users from LDAP
or anything like that.
It seems that imap-wu lets you synch up to /var/mail/username, but
only that.
Courier uses maildir, which means installing procmail and having a
.procmailrc for every account.
It appears that cyrus-imap23 uses its own delivery agent to build a
maildir-like structure.
Does this pretty much summarize my choices, or are there other things
I should be aware of before implementing any of these on FreeBSD?
Thanks,
==ml
