CodeIgnitor has a lot of good documentation, which is kind of a prerequisite really. I like it.
Been using concrete5 also, which is a framework+cms. Borrows a lot form zend, but the documentation is lacking. Quite easy to extend, and rapid.
Rails... well. I seriously don't like that that you need to have a fair amount of sysadmin skills to deploy the beast. I also don't like the lack of competent developers out there for it. You're likely to find yourself up shit creek if you loose a developer. PHP devs are two-a-penny. It pleases developers - yes - but I fail to see any redeeming features - it basically leads to extra expense.

If you're looking for a usable, coherent design, good documentation and excellent support go with CodeIgniter.

Best framework for what?!?
It was drilled into me earlier in my career that you have to pick the tool for the job, rather than pick a tool and then squeeze the job into it...
BUT... since the learning curve in current frameworks can be odd, and the lifespan of an app is often more than one developer, it seems most people do have to pick a framework or two and pick jobs that fit it.... or learn to extend and sometimes re-invent wheels oddly....
Django is a fav of some smart people I know.. but similar issues to ROR.... needs good system admin and a dearth of developers...
