I don’t know yet if the plugin “SI CAPTCHA” will stop all spam but my guess is that it won’t.
The reason I mention it is that I do think because it has the captcha feature it will stop most and I haven’t gotten a spam e-mail or anyone registering for a few hours so it definitely helps.
I know I have used Akismet only for some time. I tried another plugin that redirected registrations, but when I disapproved them, it didn’t take them off the user list so I really can’t say I could figure out how it really helped.
I would like to hear from others that are using the plugin, just to know what I can expect for results.

A few days of using Si-Captcha indicates that the spam is about gone. A few more industrious individuals do sign up through it for pingbacks or maybe even join the site, but for the average inexperienced blogger, it is a should have.
I don’t know what it does for bandwidth, but it would see that it must help.
I guess tweaking the robots.txt file would be necessary to really save bandwidth.
