For example, is a small footprint / fast execution time more important than features beyond simple editing? There is no paucity of opinions out there, but I value the views of this group above others. Anyone with insights in how you chose (actually not theoretically) one Wiki over another would be much appreciated, particularly if you wish you had done something differently for some reason. Thanks.

The number one thing I take into account is ease of use for the end 
user. Anything that requires structured text is automatically out of the 
reach for not so tech oriented people (general workforce). Someone 
recommended that MoinMoin had a rather easy editing system but I haven't 
had a chance to look yet.

Better yet, go to the Kupu(WYSIWYG editor) website and see which wiki 
servers it's known to work with. http://www.oscom.org/matrix/index.html
