I definitely want to ditto FeedBurner. It is a great tool. They also do 'generic' blog stats as well as feed stats, so you can do it all with them, but as Scott says, it doesn't hrt to have multiple sources. All together I have FB for feed stats, FB for web stats, and Google Analytics for web stats.
About the only thing I'm not sure I agree with is the 'feeds with full articles' thing. My feeds are a mix of full articles and article previews. Any long article is normally syndicated in a short form. I think this helps keep the feed size down, and I think it helps drive more traffic. I do seem to notice more hits for articles like that.
