I agree. we can't determine what's best for you unless you tell us what 
you're lacking. the way you phrased your question, you'll just get a 
list of what other people like, which may or may not be well suited for 
your application.

I work at an ISP and we use sendmail here as well. I use postfix at 
home. Both work quite well.
