I won't, because I'm probably biased.
But something which should also be taken into account is
the fact that postfix is under IBM's Public License, which
is not BSD-like and has rather much in common with the GPL
(including the condition that source must be published).

The sendmail.mc file on my mail server is 40 lines and
easy to read, in my opinion.
