 I take a different approach on sites where registered users may be
valuable.

http://drupal.ls.net/content/anonymous-authenticated-trusted creates a new
role "trusted" but lets users register without approval. It has proven
moderately safe when spam is suppressed with "mollom" and "ht:bl"

Advuser is also helpful.
