Wordpress on my own hosts and it gives me more freedom in what I want from the blog.

Yes it does. It is harder to implement the more advanced functionality of other blog software but as long as it has an RSS feed then that's ok with me

Yes that would be an added bonus but I actually never considered that before. The main advantage is knowing exactly how the code works so if you want to add any new features in it is a trivial matter. Don't mention the inline documentation though (there is none )

I use Wordpress, Movable Type and Blogger on different sites. I'm finding WP to be far and away the best of them.

I'm yet to find a blogging solution that really scales well. Wordpress is nice, but as you add more plugins to it you end up putting a lot of SQL queries through each and every time you load a page etc., which can cause issues

MT is nice as well and has the added advantage of building static HTML files instead of relying solely on the database backend.

Typo looks like it could prove to be useful, though I've no idea what kind of footprint it has

Text Pattern - seems to be very functional

I use blogger but what I do is...
I post on my blogspot dashboard and then use the RSS feed for own site and embed the .xml file in the HTML!

There!
