The very first thing I suggest is that you make a very detailed list of what you need the platform to do for your particular business as well as what you want it to do for the present and going forward. I want emphasize very detailed a second time. You cannot search and compare different platforms intelligently without doing so IMO.

Even the smallest detail can have a great deal of influence on which solution is best for you. For example, if it is neccessary to adjust price points frequently a solution that does not provide you the ability to easily make global changes will make simply maintaining that aspect a nightmare, especially if you have a large number of products.

I'm a fan of ShopSite. Very easy to use, lots of features, lot's of add on modules. As a hosted solution, the folks at Lexiconn have been stellar.
