Hi,
Use VMAP0. It's free and virtually all of the commercial maps are derived
from it anyway. It is also in the public domain so you can use it however
you like without any licensing restrictions.
Use Manifold System, since it is much more powerful than any of the systems
you mention and it also includes a sophisticated Internet Map Server. The
cost of Manifold ($245) will be less than some people will charge you to
sell a privatized version of VMAP0.
For information on Manifold System Release 5.00, see
http://www.manifold.net/products/mfd50pro/mfd50pro_home.html for the 5.00
home page. This includes links to 5.00 information pages, including the
complete manual. This page also includes links to sample web pages created
with the Manifold Internet Map server that is included within 5.00. Buy
with a credit card online or wire transfer.
By the way, if your institution is an academic institution, for the cost of
a single copy of Manifold you can get an Academic License that allows you to
make and use unlimited numbers of copies in your institution for free.
Cheers,
Dimitri
