Re: ecommerce software
I'm using zencart, done the modifications, header, template, etc. myself. It's not too bad but have had to add a few mods/addons to get it how I want (available from their site), though it is a bit of a continual work in progress.

Re: ecommerce software
If you have already decided to use Zen, what does it matter what others think?
Much depends on your knowledge of the web and html. CubeCart is far easier to get started with, but Zen is better than OSC in my book.

Re: ecommerce software
I would put functionality in first place (assuming that they all can be customized pretty good design wise).
Do a check list on what features you'll need and then look for a shopping cart matching that.
Once you do that, you can look @ admin panels, usability & other factors but features are most important in my opinion.

Re: ecommerce software
There is large selection of shopping carts in which you can use - some examples:
OsCommerce
CubeCart
Zen Cart
PrestaShop
X-Cart
For my old ecommerce site, I was using OsCommerce.

Re: ecommerce software
Im using osCommerce. I considered Magento but they really push you to buy the premium version. Wordpress also has an e-commerce plugin
