cfwheels would probably have the lowest learning curve for your team, whereas coldbox will be a bit of a monster but is better for large projects and teams and has a ton of cool built in features such as stats and debugging consoles and ready to go admin ui as well a sthe best documentation there is. fw/1 is really intended for small projects, but I guess there is no reason not to use it for big ones if you don't want all the baggage that comes with the other frameworks, however is it very lacking in documentation and it is very much a figure it out yourself option.
