Mail or Entourage?

Depends on what you want the application to do. If you have modest email needs, Mail will more than handle it. But if you want integrated calendar, to-do list, email, newsgroup reader, and address book, Entourage is much more suited for it.

The advantage to Mail is that Apple makes it, so you can be sure that it won't just stop working with every OS update. They will also surely add in features that tie it to other apps and the system itself, making it more user friendly.

On the other hand, Entourage is part of MSOffice, which is the #1 selling piece of software for the MacOS. It makes a lot of money for MS, which is why they continue to develop it.
 
I don't have very demanding needs, and I've found that iCal, Address Book, and Mail handle all that I need.
