With maildir and nfs you'll can get a very stable system... We are running with maildir + nfs now, and for a larger (200gb) mailstore over NFS we run into performance issues with maildir (lots of small files).
Smaller partitions might do the trick, but we didn't investigate yet. Furthermore: dovecot and nfs aren't playing nice yet, although the new dovecot-1.0-test releases look promising :)
Using database (eg postgres) as storage system can be a good idea (mostly when you'd like to search something), but when it get corrupted or fragmented... then you'll have troubles.... Same goes for plain filesystems.
