For transactional emails (PM notifications, replies to thread, active your account) I'm considering one of: Postmark, SendGrid, ElasticEmail or MailJet.
Today I've changed the forum to use MailJet, which I'm pleased with so far but will watch for a few days.
For email lists, I'm currently using Mailman, but might use MailChimp.
If I use MailChimp it will cost over $150 every month, so that's quite a lot of money. But, I could always then use Amazon SES for transactional emails too.
Basically... lots to consider. But deliverability and reporting are the priorities.
