I don't have a quantative comparison between the two but I have used
both. I found spamassassin resource intensive so tried out bogofilter,
which seemed less aggressive and gets the job done well. I haven't had
any false positives and get a couple of items marked "unsure" per day.

Overall I'm happy with bogofileter (run via procmail) and haven't had to
think about it since I installed it ages back.
