I second that. You have to do some analysis of the requirements otherwise any
CMS you pick will be based on the good old 'warm fuzzy'. 

More often than not a CMS will be used with other methods for maintaining a
website as different user groups have different needs and abilities. You
might need to be able to include flat html files  as part of a page or allow
some dynamic content to be brought in from other sources.

The CMS is only a part of the toolkit.

Cheers,

Ian
