I used to run img files at first.  For several reasons, I switched to
using LVM on Dom0.  The first was the ease of resizing partitions later as
needed.  Another was the option to do snapshot backups from the logical
volumes.
Although I haven't done any quantitative testing, it feels as though it is
quicker using LVM.
I am using paravirtualized Linux DomU's on a Debian based Dom0 OS. 
Similar to your setup, my machines primarily operate as mail servers, web
server, DNS, and ftp server.
