The real answer is "it depends". What's the site for? Is, as someone else mentioned, a primarily "content" site? How closely does it fit with the model the CMS provides? etc.
As for ecommerce, don't build your own unless you've used several others already and have a very specific reason to. There's Slatwall on the CFML side. Aside from that, you really should try to use one of the SaaS platforms if at all possible - Shopify, etc. And I say this as someone who's written several ecommerce engines.
