Best & Most Flexible WP Theme?



Mucho gracias folks. I've looked at Swift and Atahualpa and Thematic. The others, I guess are commercial themes? I know Woo themes are. And I couldn't find them in the free download section of Wordpress.org. But Swift, Atahualpa and Thematic all look like they could do the job -- save me the cost of another subscription. Thanks again.
 
I've found Atahualpa to be a bit slow-loading. Bear in mind Google is factoring in page load speeds in it's results.
 
I've recently been comparing the best value for a non-tech SEO optimized blog theme. I looked over Socrates, FlexxTheme and FlexSqueeze and finally shortlisted on the last 2 because they look better. Anyone used these ones before?
 
Thesis is a very complex and robust framework, but customizing it is a pain in the ass. Just too much hooks IMO. I'd rather create a child theme and customize it directly.

My recommendation is for Canvas, a framework by WooThemes which was already suggested in this thread.

Thanks for the suggestions all.

I'll look into WooThemes. Thanks Liam
