I have used Wordpress, its easier than most other content management 
systems. Use it if you are happy with blogs/static pages and photo 
album.. but don't need any more features (wiki, etc)

However drupal and other content management systems will offer more 
features like Wiki Modules.

Whats important is also who is managing the site and what tools they are 
comfortable with.

I am quite comfortable with Wordpress and run my own Blog: 
http://cityblogger.com . I am happy to help.

My suggestion is as follows.

- We can leverage some cloud instances offered by Amazon to host the 
website.

- I have shared hosting on Dreamhost and I also also provide some 
hosting space.
