They are all free and written with a stick-it-to-the-man open source attitude, so I don't think that is deciding factor. However, people have written commercial addons for all of them too, but fear not there always seems to be a free alternative to.
BTW, Don't get me wrong, since I started using Drupal, I love it -- it appeals to my hardcore inner nerd. The hacker side of me gets to do things I know others won't know how to do. Then again, that isn't a quality I try to acknowledge, I like technology to be inclusive, not exclusive -- just like bikes.
