Well, every product has its pros and cons. But it seems to me that given your criteria, Liferay may be a better fit to your organization than would be WebSphere Portal Server.
A rich, friendly, intuitive, and collaborative end user experience
A single point of access to all information
High adaptability to the demands of fast-changing market
Lowest cost, highest values
Liferay portal also provides the highest value at every level. Liferay portal is based
on 100% standards and a set of key technologies. The standards include AJAX and
JSON, hCalendar Micro-format and iCalendar, JSR-127 and JSR-314 (compliant JSF),
JSR-168 and JSR-286 (compliant portlet), JSR-170 (Content Repository API for CMS),
JSR-220 (Hibernate), OpenSearch, WebDAV, WSRP, and so on.
In a word, it is easy to use, quick and run over WebSphere Application Server and any other application servers.
Liferay is a Open source.So,If need to customize thinngs in your own way.I will
recommend Liferay.But if you just to do follow standard approach you can use IBM
websphere.IBM comes with a lot of tools that speed development.But it also restrict
customizations.Also Liferay is free and IBM websphere is paid.
