    Is it best to make it so they have to register to post comments or not?

    I'd prefer to post comments without registering.
    If i have to register, I'd better not post comments.

    just keep it as simple as possible, there's no need for the registration thing.

    It depends - if you're in my situation where your blog gets lots of one-time visitors then you probably don't want to make it too complicated for them to comment. If you get lots of return visitors then registration is an option.

    I don't think Blogs should ever make readers register, it's a put-off people don't want to spend time registering they just want to have their say then be on there way :)

    As mentioned already, allow anyone to comment just make sure you have askimet or another spam deterrent installed.

    This isn't a really good idea. Forget about the registration.
