My thinking on this issue is that it's totally time-related. If you have a very short window, use something off-the-shelf so you get it done. If you have more time and feel the client is expecting a more customized application, I think you either build from scratch OR use an off-the-shelf product that you have experience with customizing. Most of my consulting gigs have short windows, so I try to use off-the-shelf stuff that I am confident I can customize if the demand arises.
