Personally, I use nnfolder for two reasons:
1. It does not pollute the namespace of my mail folders with archive
mailboxes.
2. nnfolder uses *far* less inodes than nnmail. Since I have a lot of
mail but don't access my archives often, I prefer the slower but less
disk-intensive nnfolder for the mail.
