Build it from scratch is always the hardest way to go. But that way you can have the customization that you will not have in other case. If you code you cms with right techniques it will be also more lightweight than any other. But if you want to build using framework I will recommend Codeigniter as it is one of the easiest to learn, very customizable and has the best guides and onsite documentation.
Start here http://codeigniter.com/
And use heavily documentation, which is very easy to read http://codeigniter.com/user_guide/

For customisation, Zend. It's very, very decoupled and is in some senses a "framework framework". However, you would probably get up and running faster with other frameworks (such as Symfony).

Whichever framework you use, if you are going to customise it a lot then you probably won't be using the majority of their code. Go with the one whose 'model' (i.e. organisation of files, implementation of MVC, how the 'loader' works) most closely fits what you need.
