Well, since you asked and I went through this myself a few months ago, I might 
be able to offer some pointers to help you make a decision.  After trying 
several (Metadot, Plone, Postnuke, phpWebsite, Mambo, myPHPnuke), I settled 
on Drupal. My second choice in that list (and a close second) was Mambo. For 
flat out blogging though, a lot of people I know tend to really like 
WordPress. It just wasn't what I wanted or needed.

You might be interested in knowing that there is a site out there that lists 
and rates various open source CMS packages.  It's certainly worth the few 
minutes to check it out.

Good luck with the hunt.  Take care out there.
