Wordpress vs Drupal integration features

We are a membership organization with about 1000 members and we use CiviCRM to keep track of our memberships. We are working on a new website where we will want to have a page where members can renew their memberships and also update their contact information such as address, phone, etc. without having to email that info to us for US to make the updates. We will also want to run a "Members Only" portion of the website which will only be available for current members and which access will automatically stop when/if their membership lapses.

Everything you mention can be done in WordPress except for a "Members Only" portion of the website, which may be possible, but I myself don't know if it is or not6.

In Drupal it's certainly possible to do that. :)

WordPress can handle a Members only section, though depending on the type of restriction you want, it may require some additional considerations.  For instance, a role manager plugin will allow you to easily create multiple different user categories and then template controls like is_usercategory can be set to display different content depending on the user type.

It's not that hard once you get used to how it works, but some of the WP core functions don't play nice with that kind of restriction, so you have to route around them.
