I feel alot more comfortable with Mail-Via DISTRIBUTE than I do with peered lists. Many of the really horrible problems I remember seeing with LISTSERV had to do with people moving people around to other peers, and I like knowing that a minimum of people can play around with controlling the list. Distribute seems to work fine (except for isolated cases where people are backlevel or only distribute at night), and as Nick said, I don't see how it could not be more efficient that PEERed lists.
