I was wanting to use it mainly for its snapshot ability (to get
consistent backups of my mailstore and mysql DBs).
Also it would be very nice to be able to resize things

So, LVM or not?
This is surprising to me, because at my former employer we used LVM

I should mention one specific advantage to using LVM over file-based
images: I believe you will find that LVM performs better. This is due to

This doesn't make sense to me.
Unless you're talking about using LVM on the HOST.

Also, they take a LONG time, whereas an LVM snapshot happens almost
immediately.
