If I was building a website myself so that I could sell products through it then off the self, selling product is what pays the bills.

If I was engaged by the site owner to build it then I would tend towards a shopping cart but would depend on the precise requirements. I would take care to point out the limitations of any carts recommended and the cost and risk of a bespoke solution.
