wait, what do you mean Postmark doesn't allow sending "alert" (notification) emails? Can you elaborate?

It's hard to give a "right answer" because "it depends."
But in general, IMO, it's best to keep things as simple as possible to get a user from point A-to-B. ie. ask yourself why you want the user to sign up, and what do you want them to do after?
With this in mind, I prefer email+pw (and maybe a few other fields depending on your needs). No pw repeat. No email confirmation.
Just my 2 cents.
And to add to the mix.. curious what others think once Facebook / Twitter / etc SSO are added to the mix?

Congrats on DreamIt Jesse.
I've worked with Jesse before and can vouch for him. I too would join his team if I didn't already have prior commitments.
Best of luck guys.
