Ditch AWW / AWiz.
I've only looked over MAS, I haven't had to develop on it so far, but I would have to say the superior product at the moment is CARMA, for the following reason.
Templates are powered by SMARTY. This means you have FULL control over your templates, and total seperation from any coding hassles. It means you can make your sites look exactly like you want, and do whatever you want. The plugins component means that you can process any of the data coming from CARMA to do exactly what you want. I've written sites for WAP in CARMA, full content rotation etc etc, advanced authentication modules for our webcam systems, embedded video plugins, the works.
I come from a purely technical side, so you might not be looking for these features.
Apart from auto-thumbnailing, video screencap galleries, I believe the new version can convert your videos to flash automagically as well.
Depending on your traffic, you can loadbalance your sites out of CARMA with no troubles.
Again, I've only had a chance to develop seriously on CARMA, but I was looknig over MAS last night, and their templating system doesnt seem to compare just yet, or their pages are slightly out of date.
