Personally, I don't really care where the comments show up on Google searches.

What I do care about is the fact that it took about 30 seconds to sign up and add the Javascript snippet to my site's footer template. It couldn't have been easier.

Removing as many hurdles as possible is key.

Problem is Google penalizes pages with duplicate content by lowering their PageRank. If comments are duplicated on your blog as well as on discus.com, your blog could pay a price.

But they aren't duplicated, since the comments show up in a JavaScript generated iframe (although I admit that's not ideal)

The Googlebot doesn't execute JavaScript, or count iframe'd pages as part of the original page.
