I tried out a few CMSs when I had to started with making a website for my department (it is still work under progress and not published yet).
I did try Joomla, MODx, and a few more CMS (I have the names on my lab PC) but we finally stuch to MODx. We foudn it to be quite configurable (I'm sure others are as well), graphically and otherwise. I can't really say much about other options but I would suggest MODx because I found it pretty easy to modify its code (to adapt to our requirements) and also modifying some of the add-ons (like EasyNews/EasyEvents or something). It is also pretty easy to make submission forms (for surveys/feedback etc). Oh, forgot the important thing which is that our requirement was that faculty/staff/and even students should be able to manage content (MODx supports that but I will also confess that giving the initial roles is a tad-bit confusing though it seems logical once you get it going). We did not want a website where a guest visitor should be able to modify/add content and that is what I have been able to turn it into (just had to disable a plugin and make a few changes in the template (skin/theme)).
