There is no right answer for this. I have looked and tried many of the open 
source ones in question. Choosing a content managemnt system is determined by 
what you require your web site to be. For example a blog, would work better on 
Wordpress rather than Joomla as it is its main role and purpose. Really you 
need to research into what each plaftorm offers you, and choose the on that 
fits your needs best. 

They are ALL good!!

Joomla can be hard to change and customise in comparison with Drupal. It is 
true that Joomla has flashy looks out of the box, but dont let this influence 
your final decision. Drupal on the other hands supplies you with simple 
templates which can easily be hacked and changed, and rebuilt. Someone who 
doesnt like to get there hands dirty in the code maybe better off with Joomla. 
There is a site called "The Onion" which is an website built using the Drupal 
CMS, this is a fine example of the flexible customisation you can make with 
Drupal.
