+What I’d like to try?

I’d prefer Joomla. If you are looking for multiple users submitting articles, I would recommend you use Joomla. It provides better user management. You could get going with a good site in minutes. It takes lesser effort in Joomla and also take into consideration 1.6 is around the corner, I would say stick to Joomla for now and update it once.
