From my experience… on about a dozen groups including several I moderate… the 
problem is searching through history..  It's fine if all you want is keyword 
search, it does that well...  however if you want to do faceted search 
(filtering by subject, thread, user, time span, etc…) google groups makes it 
hard to do those things IMHO, hence why I have all my google groups also 
indexed via Markmail. 

In the end I don't really know what moving to Groups would gain other than 
integration into a web UI…. with the exception of a thread view and inline 
posting… you can get *most* of that functionality via Google Reader right now 
by subscribing to the existing feed:

Just my 2¢.
