Zencart is great, just did a site kmwstyle.com

Magento is nice too but need semi-dedicated hosting which is expensive.

Zencart can run on shared hosting

I have looked at two options closely, Magento and Joomla with the Virtuemart add on.

I have to say that overall, I now prefer Magento. It does take time to learn and in many ways I found Joomla easier but that is probably only because that's one of the first CMS that I learnt.

We have recently swapped out online store (www.wicketts.co.uk) over from Joomla/Virtuemart to Magento and I am much happier with it now.

If you don't know any CMS well, go for Magento.

Good advice. Those are probably the two best open source options. Ubercart works well with Drupal too.

A client mentioned a system to use called BrightPearl. Magneto is one that we also hear about a lot.
