We are not 100% sure if Joomla! is the best, but generally we are leading towards it.
Drupal came up as well (we showed him threadwatch) he was impressed with it, but said that the format is better for a 'give and take' how he phrased it as compared to what he was looking for.
The best OS CMS I've used is Wordpress - not very flexible but suits many types of site. They also have akismet which is very good at stopping the bot-spam. Nice and search engine friendly out of the box and very easy to upgrade when required to.

My guess was Drupal. But, yeah, Joomla is getting good reviews.

It's very nice, the hackers with botnets love it.
