Depends on your hardware and the amount of traffic you expect (and some other things). I'm successfully using smtp-vilter as milter for clamav, but I haven't followed the latest development on OpenBSD pthreads, and people used to say that there's problems with the thread implementation (search the archives for specifics) - so going with milters might not be the optimal solution for a high-volume system. I've done some setups with MailScanner, which works quite nice even unter extreme loads, but is queue-based instead of being plugged into the MTA like a milter in sendmail, so mails have to be fully accepted into the system befor MailScanner can work on them.
