I use bbdb3; never got to grips with org-contacts and I have too 
many contacts in any case.  bbdb3 provides a subtle improvement to 
bbdb2: better more logical key bindings and less surprising 
behaviour overall.  I like it.

Org will interpret the "anniversary" (e.g. birthdays, wedding 
anniversary, other dates) field in bbdb entries to bring in 
information into the agenda view, if desired.  Look at 
=org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist=.

I am a confirmed gnus user.  No other email system comes close to 
doing what gnus can do.  Given the large volume of email I get, 
splitting and scoring are essential to survival!  Integration with 
bbdb is also obviously key for me.
