My suggestion to only allow "Members" the permission to post messages is just based on other discussions I've read here.  This seems to be the recommended approach for now.  So you've got the following group settings:

  Anyone -- cannot start a new thread or reply (this group includes registered and non-registered people)
  Registered -- cannot start a new thread or reply (this group is people who have registered, and includes people you've approved to post, banned people, and spammers)
  Members - CAN start a new thread, CAN reply (this group would only include people you've approved to post)

The administrator just adds the acceptable participants to the Members list.  Either by using a button when looking at their user profile page, or by manually adding their email address to the members list.
