I think you'll find that any of those will be better that just PHP5 by itself. But like James was getting at, depending on what you are trying to achieve could sway you more towards one than another.
Another one to add to the mix is Silex - a micro-framework created by the same team behind Symfony. http://silex.sensiolabs.org/ Good for webapps that have simple controllers/logic such as API driven sites etc. Code Igniter is great if you want to use a CMS as you could probably turn the project on its head and use Expression Engine and delve into Code Igniter when needed. Never been a huge fan of Cake PHP - It's close to Symfony but in my opinion, nowhere as good/complete/polished/optimised etc so haven't taken it much further. I think if I wasn't a PHP developer, I'd be a Ruby dev... I know many PHP devs who havent turned back since making the move to Ruby (and Rails) but it has its own set of pros and cons that I'm not qualified to comment on. Which leaves Symfony... My weapon of choice for many reasons but really, going back to James' original comment, it all depends on what you are doing. Content driven or "appy" project? Are you a product dev team or a service dev team? Or, are you building this for yourself/your company or clients? Do you have long or short development cycles? Do you iterate often? Are you coding quality or quantity? etc etc... At Pixel Fusion, we predominantly use Symfony but thats possibly indicative of the kind of work we do. Hope that helps... happy to elaborate on any of this if requested.
