 * Excellent. Between the two of them, they should keep the spam right down.

 * many people are happy with disqus
    it replaces wordpress comment system (but 
   can keep all comments in wordpress db, in case you decide to dont use disqus 
   some day)
 * ofc, you can try other anti-spam plugins
