In term of SEO, Drupal do better than Mambo. Although it's interface is really easy to use, but i think it uses too much javascript :/ Besides Drupal, you may also try exponentCMS (http://www.exponentcms.org). But some shared hosting users maybe cant meet its requirement. well, it’s not truly optimized for SE. it only provide SEF url, it’s core is still not friendly to SE.
