We're also looking at Contensis CMS and are interested in Adobe CMS (no idea of the cost there!). Following this group has also opened my eyes to Wordpress as an option...
The more popular the CMS, the cheaper the support will be.
Of the ones I’m familiar with developer salaries are ranked (lowest first)
WordPress
Drupal
Umbraco
Choosing a CMS should be related more to who is using it and what they’re using it for than popularity and cost of support, so have a think about where your content is coming from and who will be creating it in the future.
As a developer/designer I spent a fair bit of time evaluating different CMS’s a few years ago before settling on WordPress as being the most well rounded and easy for me to use and explain to clients.
I have many developer colleagues and the what CMS answers is always the same - having invested time and energy into becoming confident with a (software/framework/language) CMS they will justify their choice over others with all sorts of logic. So my Drupal developer colleagues swear Drupal is best for everything and the one or two Umbraco people I know are very loyal to it.
So you need to look at how the content is managed, and if that will fit with your workflow, before asking a developer which is the best CMS.
Do you have a specific content management workflow, or a particularly limited budget...
