Postfix is easier to

Postfix is easier to configure, especially if you get into a circumstance where you need to setup mail to go through a SMTP relay (with or without authentication).

Sendmail is more heavyweight. It theoretically can handle more volume, but this is only really a big deal if you are dealing with ISP-like volume of email, not the type of volume any PBX will handle.
