Which Open Source CMS To Use?

Figured this'd be as good a place as any to ask about this. I am working on updating my personal website (eventually) to a CMS, rather than a rotating HTML/JavaScript mess of a system. I want to have a news section, with multiple categories, and a blog would be nice. However, my free host doesn't allow for more than three databases, so I'd like to keep it all-in-one if possible. Here's what I've come across:

  • Joomla! 1.0.12 - Easy to use, good free themes if you know where to look. However, it can prove unstable.
  • Drupal 5.1 - More stable - Works here with what, 200,000 members. Should work for me.
Really, the only other thing that'd be nice is the ability to skin. I have a nice template already in use on the rest of the site so I'd really like to replicate it on my front page. I just need more expandability. So SpreadFirefox, which is better for me?

I recomend MODx, I`m using it on a large portal and it`s really worth, it`s also the most promising cms http://www.packtpub.com/article/modx-wins-most-promising-open-source-cms
