Personally, I would favor Markdown as it would address (a) and (b) out
of the box, i.e. you can get fancy stuff in raw HTML if needed and
people not aware of the syntax will get decent result out-of-the-box...
As an example, here is a, hmm, homemade wiki engine which uses Markdown:

http://svr225.stepx.com:3388/main.txt
http://svr225.stepx.com:3388/main/editor
Tangentially related... Once you have your blogging app up and
running... read a bit about spambots :))
