Due to the serious vulnerabilities in all of these, I would go with 16> custom cms

For my own personal site, I use Wordpress, simply because I don't want to have to write a blog/comment setup into my CMS. However, for the most part, unless a forum is used, I use my own , custom developed CMS.

mmm i like e107 cms
cant understand why though :P
well i have been using it since 3 years now and its good and stable
regarding others php-nuke is also good not forgetting mambo

I have been using Mambo. It's a bit tricky at first. But if you get to know the code flow, Mambo is not so difficult to customize. Joomla is similar to Mambo because they have common core developers.

Wordpress could also fall under Content Management System (CMS) because it has a facility to manage content. This blog script is easy to install and customize. Good documentation about Wordpress is readily available online.
