I've used both Dovecot and Cyrsus sasl. I would say that Dovecot sasl is much easier to install than Cyrsu sasl. It is implemented as a daemon to which an application communicates via a domain socket rather than as a shared library (which is how Cyrus sasl is implemented). Because of this setup and due to the fact that the configuration is done in a single configuration file, it is more "self contained" from a design perspective. The downsides of Dovecot sasl are: 1) It is not available separately from the Dovecot IMAP/POP server (at the moment) so it makes the most sense for people that are already using Dovecot IMAP/POP. 2) Although Postfix can use Dovecot sasl, it can only use it for server side sasl (although this is not a problem for most sites). But they both work, and there are plenty of people using either one.
