The first task is to create a wish list of all the functions you will need. I will take a wild guess and say you are using opencms now. http://www.cmsmatrix.org/ is where you can compare the CMS and create a bake off per se.
Once you have defined your needs and had the bakeoff then you have to think about what platform to run on and where the server will be located. For me I would use linux and get a virtual server online.

My personal choice would be joomla. There is are a massive number of pre-written components and modules. It has a simple yet incredibly powerful API to help you out when writing your own modules/components. It has a very elegant templating solution with thousands of templates that you can use and personalise. It is a PHP application so will run on both windows and linux servers. It is also OSS meaning free.

Some people who are much more intelligent than I am have setup a website to tell you why you should use joomla:

Hope this helps
