I don't think this will become too much of a religious war... Postfix is easily one of the best replacements for sendmail. A lot of popular Linux distributions have moved over to Postfix as their MTA so look for it to outpace Sendmail rapidly the next few years.
Of the drop-in replacements for Sendmail, Postfix is also one of the easiest to configure and to install. Postfix also has superior support for virtual domains, etc, etc, yadda, yadda, yadda. Others in the also ran column include: exim and qmail. Though you have had a bad experience with qmail. Good Luck with Postfix!
