Well, the one and only fax program I played with was 
hylafax. So I cannot compare it to others, but here's what 
I can say about hylafax:

It's very powerful. A lot more so than most users will ever 
need, client/server capable of handling thousands of faxes 
everyday and whatnot.
Incoming faxes may be piped to a printer as well as sent to 
a recipient via email; it is possible to distribute them to 
different users based on how the remote fax identified 
itself.
See http://www.hylafax.org/man/faxrcvd.html for details.

One thing I did not quite understand, and one could 
possibly dislike: it builds its own 'pseudo-root' 
filesystem (/var/spool/fax/bin, /var/spool/fax/etc, and so 
on). Don't ask me why. I don't know.
