I've been using dovecot for a long time now.  Granted I have a 
relatively small system, but dovecot is by far the easiest IMAP server I 
have ever installed or used.  I used to have connection issues with 
WU-IMAP all of the time and finally told myself "there must be something 
better."  I took what turned out to be a relatively small effort to move 
to dovecot and no longer even think about the IMAP server .. it just works.

I do use the MAILDIR format for my messages.  I cannot remember if this 
is a requirement with dovecot or not, but I like MAILDIR format better 
than MBOX format.  While "better" may be relative to your situation, I 
can only say that I have had a positive experience with dovecot.
