I prefer CakePHP - http://cakephp.org/

But I have been using ZendFramework (http://framework.zend.com/)  
recently and it seems quite well thought out, although it is more of a  
packaged library than a framework.

CakePHP is more of a site out of the box type of framework.

Typo3 is a CMS.  The list of frameworks and CMS's gets longer every  
day it seems.

Check out this list:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_web_application_frameworks

It really depends on what you want.  Each framework will have a  
learning curve to get familiar with the nuances of it.
