I'd definitely use OpenBSD's version, that's likely to be the fastest
path.

I'll just point out that if you do not have prior experience with any
mailer, you're likely to encounter a lot less pain when using an
alternative. Recompiling sendmail is more difficult than installing a
port with appropriate FLAVOR, and sendmail is notoriously difficult to
configure (although the m4-based setup helps, papering over the mess
does not make it go away).
I like Postfix (which has an odd license), but there's no really bad
choice here.
