Which WP comment system gets you the most engagement?

[Christopher1]

I'm having some trouble deciding how I should implement the comment system on a WP blog to create the most user engagement.

Does the built-in comment system, and making them create an account on your blog etc, seem to get more or less engagement than using something like Disqus? Do you find Facebook comments get less use because people don't want to need to show their real identities and faces? What do you guys think?

Use a plugin to allow Disqus. I'm pretty sure I've read that it's very friendly for users and promotes more commenting. (Not 100% sure I actually did)

I have noticed a new one, Comment Luv, that is becoming more prevalent. I have never used it and can't speak for its quality or functions, for that matter, but anything has to be better than the page load lag resulting from loading FB comments.

Looks to be a bit outdated, though. Last updated 5 months ago.

True. I have never looked into it, myself. Just been seeing it everywhere, it seems.
