  The CMS should reflect the job it is chosen to do. I've used ModX, WordPress, Drupal, custom stuff, and have just started with ExpressionEngine. ModX can be a pain in the ass, but overall I wouldn't be able to pick a favourite, go-to solution. For example, the things we do in WordPress could just as easily be done with Drupal, but the extra overhead isn't necessary. Alternatively, Drupal can do a lot more than WordPress. I'm hoping ExpressionEngine will be a happy medium.

  As for templating, which is what this is about, then WordPress might be the best way to go, at least at first. There are lots of themes to look at and only a few files to bugger around with, but you'll still have a high degree of control.
