If you read your mail in more than one device, I'd say IMAP is a must.  
Without it it's really hard to keep track of what's been read and what  
not. You could set up your main computer to download and delete mails,  
and secondary devices to not delete, so that when you're back at the  
main computer they'll be downloaded. But they would appear as unread  
there, as there's no way of storing state with POP3.

Also, I do my mail filtering (basically moving mails from each of  
several mailing lists I'm subscribed to to individual folders)  
server-side, and any IMAP client can access all my folders and the  
mails in each one.

I guess if someone does not archive mails (ie, read them and delete  
them, possibly saving only a few important ones elsewhere), then POP3  
might be viable.
