ModWiki - I use this for my personal wiki, and really like it. I don't like the way it handles uploads though! It works for me, but for a large public one we might run into issues.

Twiki - Has a cult following...

As max mentioned earlier, WikiPedia's software is nice, but I don't know much about it...

UPDATE:

After looking into Wikipedia's features list, I have mixed feelings. I'm not sure the complexity is warranted in this situation...
TWiki has some very cool stuff like the draw plugin (which incidentally could probably be ported to mediawiki) And other goodies.

useModwiki just looks way to simple from the examples i have seen. There seem to be literally hundreds (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiEngines) but only a few come close to the having the features that i think are neccesary, or more importantly, a large enough community to stay in active development and stay current with features.

MORE UPDATE:

On second though, maybe restricting editin to logged in users might be a good thing. Not because of security or vandalism or anything, it would just be nice to at least have something more than IP address to credit a contribution to.
