I'd go with spamassassin. It is quite easy to set up, features auto-learning, 
and is very efficient (Ever since I turned it on, I haven't got a single 
spam, and I have so few false positive that I just tell it to trash the mail 
it marks as spam).

If I may suggest two things :
- Use spamassassin through its daemon (spamd), it's faster.
- You should consider dropping procmail in favour of courier-maildrop, since 
you seem to be using courier-imap. I find it more flexible and better 
integrated with the imap server.

(Note : that is just a suggestion, I am not looking to start a flamewar or 
anything. I have used procmail for years and was very happy with it !)
