I miss being able to copy paste by just selecting and pasting it with middle click, which iTerm does allow. Also OOTB it doesn't support fn + arrows for home, end so you have to use ctrl + a for home which is also used for screen. Tiny annoyances, I just happen to prefer iTerm.

Consider replacing C-a in screen with C-z by putting this in your .screenrc:

escape ^Zz

C-a interferes with command line editing and Emacs. C-z makes it a pain to background a process in screen, but if you're like me, you probably never do that, anyway.

Terminal (at least as of 10.6) allows you to select-to-copy/middle click paste within the same Terminal window. Not full blown support, but at least it's something.
