My choice would definitely be a mailing list. I belong to about 15 different mailing lists. I can receive posts from all lists at once and filter them as desired. It would be a total waste of valuable time if I had to physically log into 15 different forums to view any new information. Don't forget, you cannot subscribe to a topic that you don't know exists. By the way I also subscribe to about 10 forums/message boards. I will take a mailing list over a forum any day. Just MY opinion.
