To my mind Plone on Zope remains the best (or at least
one of the best) open source CMSes.  But despite its
sophistication and object oriented nature - ideal for
larger enterprises - Plone support remains challenging
for smaller organizations, simply because Python
developers are hard to come by.

For an enterprise-strength proprietary package, you
should definitely be looking at Fatwire's CS7 or
Percussion's Rhythmyx.  

For review and ongoing input (including a blog and
newsletter) on CMS issues and vendors generally:
