As said, I had UW imap serving system user mailboxes, and now
cyrus imap serving virtual users. You have to decide. With
dovecot I have no other experience than compiling it.

I think, I would preffer now UW Imap, because I have only few and trusted
users, and because it is very simple, no much configuration and
mantainance needed: it just publishes the mailboxes with imap,
accessed with the system user/password. I installed cyrus imap because
I wanted some integration with cyrus sasl and ldap that I also use
for authentication in sendmail. Now I think it is for my purposes
an exageration.

Indexing may be nice, but there is not a lot of emails.

I do not know the state of UW imap today and if it is considered secure
by OpenBSD people. I would also be glad to hear oppinions.
