I'd say that the recommended is still quotalegacy.  BDB might not be a 
bad alternative because it has per-record locking.

The only reason that I migrated quota to use the cyrusdb interface, was 
so that we could eventually come up with a new cyrusdb backend which 
could work across backend servers in a Murder.  Currently the choices 
for such a backend are BDB RPC (which I've tested, but has subtle config 
issues) and SQL (which I've written and tested).
