Best PHP Framework for a modular web application?
I am starting work on a web application in PHP that will be very modular, meaning that it will eventually have quite a few parts tacked together, but they will use similar PHP objects that I will write. However, I am having the classic choice paralysis of "what PHP framework should I use?".  I do not have any experience with PHP frameworks, although I have written php applications without one.  Basically, I have the following requirements:

 - Light weight and LAMP compliant
 - MVC
 - RESTful
 - Easy MYSQL integration
 - JQuery UI integration

I have looked at quite a few frameworks and "top 15" lists, but they all seem to vary in their opinions of the top ones. I'm pretty much torn between [CakePHP](http://cakephp.org/), [Zend](http://framework.zend.com/), [Symfony](http://www.symfony-project.org/), [Reccess](http://www.recessframework.org/), [CodeIgniter](http://codeigniter.com/) and [Agile Toolkit](http://agiletoolkit.org/).  The question is, does anyone have experience with some of these frameworks and could make a recommendation to me?  I should mention that I have a java background, so if any of these frameworks make the code a little more java-y it would be nice. Any advice/personal experiences would be much appreciated. Thanks beforehand!
