I'm using redmine. What I use most are the wiki, which I use to create 
and share documentation with customers and coworkers, the issue tracker 
and the repository. The forums are also useful sometimes. Furthermore 
it's an open source Rails application that I can read and customize 
easily if I have to.

A couple of customers of mine use basecamp. It's easier to start with 
but I miss the wiki a lot and not having an integrated repository 
manager is an annoyance. However its ability to assign unstructured todo 
tasks is a nice feature. Overall I think that basecamp it's more for 
(light) project management and communication than for software 
development. Redmine is much better at that.
