Simple.  db stores everything in the database.  dbfile stores the headers
and other status in the database, but stores the message body (potentially
large) in the file system.

Which is appropriate for you?  That's your call.

Then you may care more about the spooler and RemoteDelivery repositories
than the inbox.

In my view, the advantage of dbfile is that it keeps large message bodies
out of the database, which can be an issue if you have a lot of large
messages, but the database spooling can be more robust in the face of system
overload than the file system.

If you are evaluating, you might try the test builds.  There are
optimizations in v2.2 compared to v2.1.
