What's the best option for building a reviews site with Wordpress?

I'm going to need to have something that makes building a review site simple. I've spent money on a review plugin before but that was just a waste as the code was a mess and it really didn't provide a great integration experience.

Does anyone know the best way to build a review site with Wordpress? I also want to allow the users to rate the product or service and have that play a part on the ranking table that I'll display on the front page. These will become authority sites in their niches so it's not just a quick project that I throw up, rake in money, and neglect.

    You don't need a plugin for that. You can search for nice free premium wordpress themes, once you find a theme that you like, view the source of the theme and see if it has h1, h2, h3 tags, in the titles. The best themes for this are Magazine Wordpress Themes.

    Then you can install a Star Rating plugin, and most of those plugins lets you insert a widget with the top rated posts reviews.

    I am exploring something similar, and although I want to use wordpress, I think it will be a tall order for wordpress to handle without lots of custom code (for what I want to do).

    So I am looking at drupal, as their 5star module is flexible.

    I think I've found what I need with GD Star Rating. You can see it at GD Star Rating | A WordPress Rating System | ». It looks pretty clean to be honest.
