I prefer NNTP for the following reasons: You don't have to send subscribe or unsubscribe messages. If you want to access the archives, you just connect and download the messages you want. In a regular mailing list, you are sent 100% of the traffic the mailing list gets. That is bad news for your INBOX storage limits. You can use smart filtering and scheduled INBOX cleanup, but the fact you are using tools for solving a problem is proof that a problem is there. That said, I use the gmane NNTP service and I have not used a true mailing list in years.
