For truly anal spam blocking you could use both services. I don't use orbs because I don't approve of the way they scan for open relays actively, instead of the more passive means that MAPS uses (i.e. only abused relays are nominated). I also think that MAPS has been much more consistent in how/who/why they add to the blacklist. But there's nothing wrong with running both services - I just don't run ORBS because I disagree with how they do some things. It can still offer protection to supplement the MAPS RBL. It's like buying dolphin safe tuna or non dolphin safe tuna - you get tuna either way, just one company kills Flipper and the other claims they don't.
