Confluence vs. SharePoint
If all I needed was a wiki then probably a good choice. But if I needed workflow, forms, document management, records management, policy enforcement, content authoring, BI presentation tools, data aggregation and back end Line of business data collaboration then I'll select SharePoint. Most folks already have Microsoft product licensing and the server cost is less than confluence.
SharePoint vs Teaming + Conferencing
Why not choose Teaming + Conferencing, runs on W3K and against a MS SQL server and does the same as SharePoint without the burden of license stacking!
And last but not least: There's also an opensource version available @ www.icecoreopen.org
Hosted SharePoint
Hosted SharePoint is still a cheap and effective option for all companies.
