I don't understand Roshi's comment, since you can use your own domain name with or without a dotmac account. Doing it with .mac is easier in iWeb '08 than '06, but hackable in '06. Personally, I'd say that issue has no bearing on whether you choose iWeb or Rapidweaver. Here are my observations:
1. Rapidweaver is much more advanced than iWeb, and also much more difficult to use. A non-user can probably create a nice site in iWeb within an hour of starting...not true for RW.
2. iWeb '08 has several enhancements over '06. http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/#overview These are listed here:
Easy use of your own domain
Web galleries for photos that are better than the photo galleries in '06
Adding web widgets (e.g. google maps, ads, etc) obtained from other sites onto your pages
If you don't care about these, then '06 will be fine.
