I think what is preferable depends on what your goals are.
In the past I used nnml for many years and it was just fine for how I
was using it (reading from a single account). I've never looked into
using MH/nnmh.
For me, the indexer ("notmuch") dictated the store format and my
desire to read mail from multiple clients dictates how Gnus accesses
it. The sweet spot for me is now:
Primary machine: Procmail->Maildir->Dovecot->nnimap
Satellite machine:
Maildir(primary)->Dovecot->OfflineIMAP->Dovecot->Maildir(satellite)->Dovecot->nnimap
The "notmuch" indexer runs from cron or by OfflineIMAP.
I find this a very satisfying, fast and usable setup.
