Sendmail.

It is the oldest and most mature.
It is the most hacked and so most patched/fixed.
It is not the fastest, but it is fast enough.
It is not the most scalable, but it is scalable enough.
It is the most powerful, if you can understand sendmail.cf.
It has the most documentation - just check out the "fat" sendmail book.
A great number of sites use it.
If postfix is a BMW, then sendmail is a Mercedes Benz.
