Nothing about those sizes are a problem for the built-in archiving features. Transparency is another matter, but with the ND6 mail file, the archive access is integrated directly into the left-side navigation, so it's hardly cumbersome.
You can make such an approach extremely flexible using ND6 policies. You can place the archives on a separate server, for instance, where you might offer a different SLA. (Archives could be off-line for weekends, say, to allow routine maintenance.) There is no user intevention required if you rollout with a sound strategy. Plus, this will make it easier to "tier" your users by establishing different archiving policies for them.
Any user with a 23GB mail file *needs* to be aware of the dangers of running with a mail db of that size. Stability of that mail file is greatly affected -- and imagine trying to deal with a tape restore on that thing!
The only shortfall I've encountered in the native archiving is the inability to jointly full-text search the live and archive databases. I have not encountered a legimate real-world problem with this though -- it is merely a theoretic concern. I have, of course, not talked to every user on the planet, but I have a hard time envisioning a legimate need for *direct*, *searchable*, *high-speed* access to mail over 1 year old. Access to it, yes. But access to it, transparent to all your other mail? No. Any user who claims that they regard mail from 2001 as current either has the world's strangest requirements, or is just lying.
