1. Resource management. I want it to be stable, and not run into RAM/Mem issues.
Every major CMS should be able to handle this.

Drupal > Joomla, here. But only slightly.

This site(s) are going to last for decades. So they need to be able to grow without a new CMS every few years. So it has to be a system that can be upgraded, and expanded easily without complete rebuilds.
Don't use Joomla.

Drupal is good for this.

MODx pwns here.

They need to handle existing needs for 100,000's of images, 10,000's of video, easily sorted and maintained. Searchable. Easy control panel.
All could handle this, but only up to a point. Drupal would probably do slightly better than Joomla.

For a seriously large project, though, expect quite a bit of custom work needing to be done.

Every few years I like to update sites. So the CSS must be able to swap out fairly easily to upgrades. Both for overhauls, but for building in adnetwork, and other things as you evolve.
All can handle this easily.

7. Secure membership, and back end.
All can handle this, but you might need some custom work.
