When I did my research for setting up RBL's, I found old comparisons between RBL's that seemed to indicate that the spamhaus PBL and the spamcop lists had slightly higher levels of flase postives.
This was certainly true with Spamcop's list, which was next to useless. PBL has always been a highly effective list, however, and I used it gladly until I switched to zen, which includes it. It is, after all, basically a list of IPs that the IP owners say should not be sending email directly.
SORBS DUL list was, at a time, a bit more effective than the PBL, but that didn't last long and I've seen addresses that haven't been in dynamic pools for years still listed (Several IPs in Comcast's static business pool, for example).
I'm not happy to see SORBS go, but it's been a long time since I relied on it for anything other than a bit of scoring in SA.
42U of space seems a bit much though. I'd think a couple of Xserves could manage it quite well. I'm probably wrong though.
