I'm setting up a website for my wife's business and I've been looking at open source shopping cart software as a starting point. Anyone have any experience setting one or more of these up and have a preference on any particular product?

One's that I've been looking at so far are:

1) OpenCart
2) Magento
3) osCommerce
4) PrestaShop

I really haven't delved deep enough into each one...but wanted to see if anyone had some recommendations/experience (or a particularly good article) that may sway me one way or the other.

Thanks.

i've set up and maintained several stores using zencart, which was originally based off of oscommerce

easy to set up and customize, and a whole bunch of community created plugins and add-ons.

What hosting service would you guys recommend for a small/low traffic web store?

The only experience I have, is with osCommerce ... I liked it, clean, not so clunky. I know they are finally coming up with a new/updated version too.
