I abandoned sendmail many years ago and haven't looked back. I tried qmail and postfix, and was a lot happier with postfix. I overlooked exim at the time, but from what little I've seen and heard, it should be up there with postfix, making for a tough choice if you didn't have anything to bias your choice (like having used one of them already for a few years).
FWIW I switched from sendmail to exim when switching my home server from SuSE to debian back in 2001. And I've really never wanted to switch, neither back to sendmail, nor to anything else.
Main reason: I understand the configuration files' logic.
I have no experience of MTAs other than sendmail or exim, though...
And I fully accept that as a sufficient reason to make a choice. I made the choice of Dovecot, having zero experience with it, because of my experience with Courier. Sadly, making such a choice with zero experience and zero knowledge of either options is the really hard one to make.
