Joomla is to bloated IMO. It's great, has lots of iCandy and is great for CMS newbs.

However, if it's total control you want, then I would recommend Drupal.

In any case, try them all out before you decide for yourself:

then click the 'Portals (CMS)' link on the left and try out the CMS (user and admin) before you make your own decision.
