With Dovecot's LDA, mailbox indexes are updated at mail delivery time
instead of (only) at pop3/imap login time, which should result in faster
logins when you have a lot of new mail.

And Dovecot's LDA has extra functionality, most notably Sieve support.
But if you don't use all that, Postfix' LDA works fine too.
