Wow, great post Teli!
Let me add to the Moveable Type info for you ... it's built on a PERL platform and very nasty to work with in terms of tweaking things. Probably so nasty, even SixApart chose to build the newer part of that app in PHP. So, it's a combo of both platforms ... making it even more nasty to work with for most webmasters.
It's not a fun install even for a seasoned websmaster, but once installed it's a solid solution.
Between WP and MT, I would have to get behind the WP for it's total flexiblity ... and in my word that means tweakability ... and easy of install and use.
I had MT installed for the Affiliate Guild's blog and ripped it out to be replaced with WP. I was just so limited by MT and coding it was a real ... um, not nice thing.
Someone who's very new to server admin, database creation and installing apps on (unix) servers, should go with WP handsdown.
