I think the decision on using user-specific or site-wide Bayes strongly depends on how much (many?) mail your users get. If they get too few mail their Bayes may take quite a while to kick in and it may also take only a few errants to spoil the Bayes (or the AWL) db. A site-wide db protects them much better, against spam and against FPs. If you have a big site-wide db just a few spam learned to it won't spoil the db. It also means that spam going to one user will also protect other users. I'm all in favor of site-wide dbs unless your users (each of them) has a considerably high mail influx.
