We are about to deploy scanning in PF, which engine is better? OpenVAS or 
Nessus?  I know about Nessus (but we aren't experts) and it is legendary for 
its ability to scan hosts. However it is not exactly user-friendly.

We do not have any experience with OpenVAS, so naturally we do not know how 
well it works or how friendly it is.

So I ask you community (and Inverse) what would you suggestion be, Nessus or 
OpenVAS and why?

Also, as an aside:  We are also planning on deploying a network of snort 
sensors. Given that snort should detect all undesirable network traffic (if you 
configure it correctly) is network posturing a worth while endeavor?
