debating between Debian with xfs or FreeBSD with zfs. I'm not sure which way to go. I'm migrating from cyrus. I have about 50 users so it's not a large setup.
I would say both XFS and ZFS are fine. Pick the OS you want (Debian or FreeBSD) and then use the filesystem that comes with that OS. At the size you state, and the filesystems you list, the OS choice will be much more important than the filesystem is.
If you really want to pick a file system rather than an OS, then it would depend on admininstrative/management features of the OS, not the purpose (mail spool). You would pick which ever is best for your needs as far as managing it goes.
