If the KISS side of you wins out and you end up with FogBugz plus some wiki-to-be-named-later as your choice, then as a final step spend a few minutes maybe looking at BugTracker.NET. Disclaimer: I'm the author. It's a free, open source app that draws some inspiration from FogBugz. It's just an issue tracker. No wiki.

Cool, I will definitely be contacting rymatech to check out featureplan!

The phases are the three outlined above –
Phase 1 – CRM/Customer interface/collection
Phase 2 – Project Management
Phase 3 – Release management

I made these up based on my use of the tools and experience. I’m sure the lines are wrong. :) I’ve found that gathering customer feeback or requirements, and tracing that to the customer is very different from managing the individual use case and working with engineering, is very different from managing the bugs and working with the sustaining and customer facing activities.

Comment, input, or suggestions on better ways to break down the space are greatly appreciated.

What did you mean by Phase 1 and Phase 2?

As for FeaturePlan, so much has changed in the past year. New pricing model makes it so much more affordable, On-Demand (all web-based) version available – integration to Rally and more vendors to come. By far the leading Product Management solution out there.
