Need input on shopping carts.

So many to choose from

[smoked1]

I am in the process of choosing a shopping cart but I am having trouble deciding on what to use. Below is a list of what I have rounded it down to so far. I don't care what the cost is because my boss is paying for it I am sure that it will pay for itself if I choose the right one. If you have had experience with any of them please let me know what your thoughts are.

X-Cart Gold
digiShop
ViArt Shop 2.5 (Enterprise Edition)
CS-Cart

X-Cart Gold is a nice cart for the money. It's feature rich and pretty easy to skin. The makers offer a handful of mods and are pretty cheap when it comes to getting custom work done - but you need to use the King's English and excellent grammar in order to communicate with them because they're in Russia and slang and many of the nuances of English do not translate well into Russian. There are also a number of people on their discussion board who are very helpful and have mods of their own for sale.

I'm using viart just now and have been pretty happy with it. It's not "perfect" but it is updated quite regularly.

The integration with viart cms is very nice and the admin area is very simple to work with. The template files can be a little tricky to work with in terms of customisation.
