Have you considered hosted offerings? Could take all the hassle away if you've got money for the upkeep.
I'm +1 for confluence. Some background on my wiki admin-ness. I used to use and champion Twiki about 10 years ago. It was great for it's time, and I kept up with even through the Cairo release and all the political wrangling, and everything that fell through. Then the latest politicking really made it difficult to use. So then I had to find something that worked and worked well. I looked at wikimatrix and ran test installs. Ease of install, and for fire-and-forget, confluence was the best of the lot. It's moderately configurable, has lots of plugins and it had lots of flexibility around authentications and page controls. Nowadays I'm not managing the wiki any more, and I've convince the team to migrate to the corporate confluence. That was pretty easy. They created some spaces and just imported a full backup. 5c worth.
