Hi Warwick, Drupal is stable, very flexible, extensible (via the module-based system) and has good in-built caching. Boost is good if your content is primarily static with no / limited user interaction, but it can fall down in certain situations (using query strings for translatable content is one instance).
Varnish, or any reverse proxy will provide a good performance boost and will also reduce the amount of traffic Drupal has to handle directly. Learning curve is a little steep and the admin UI isn't as polished as something like wordpress but I'd definitely recommend it as a solution for the type of site you're looking to build.
