I use both (and Razor too) along with a number of RBL's that come standard with SpamAssassin. If anything it does it's job a little too well. Most of the custom rules I've been writing lately are to lower scores for legitimate mail, and thus avoid being flagged as spam. On a more quantitative basis, DCC is fractionally more accurate than Pyzor at our site. DCC shows up <5% on false negatives and false positives over the last 12 months, where Pyzor comes in with just over 8%. Still, given that our COMBINED false negative and false positive rate is <0.01% of our total mail volume (by message count), it's really splitting hairs.
