I have some experiece both (Courier,Dovecot) with postfix. First off all: postfix works perfectly Courier and Dovecot. As I see:

Courier: relatively easy to configure and maintenance, gives an average performance at mailbox access.

Dovecot: more complex configuriation (compared to Courier), gives very good performace at mailbox access

Personally I would recommend Dovecot. Main reasons why I would choose Dovecot: Dovecot has powerfull admin tool (doveadm) makes easier to maintain the config even though needs a bit complex setup. Dovecot uses indexes (e.g. in Mialdir) which makes it very fast when accessing mails.

Having Googled this extensively, and searched the postfix users
archives, I have yet to come to a conclusion on which to use: courier or
dovecot.

I am leaning towards Dovecot because of it's large community, security
focus, and a few off color emails in the archives (http://is.gd/fs49di [1]).

So the question is: which of these plays the best with Postfix? and most
importantly: why?
