Yes, they are really bad.  It is actually quite silly that a blacklisting
service is that slow on responding to problems.

I find it unacceptable that people demand instant service from a company 
they don't have prior business arrangements/relationship with.  Average 
turn around time for the AHBL is around two weeks if we don't have an 
established contact and procedure with.

Yes, but the AHBL is actually a responsible blacklist service.

SORBS has policies which make me choose to not use it on my mailservers,
and the general amount of complaints I have heard about it is a major
turnoff.

Also, I believe SORBS are the ones that require a donation to get out if
you've been screwed by your upstream provider that just handed you a
tainted class-C.  With the shortage of IPv4 addresses becoming more and
more imminent, such policy is simply unacceptable.
