"what are the "must-have" criteria for one of the best CMMS?"

Josh... you know everyone could argue a lot about your question. But I think everyone could agree at least on these 4 generals but very important points:
1- software fitting customers REAL needs (I talk about functionalities)
2- software bringing REAL benefits : better control on maintenance tasks (preventive, corrective, inventory and procurement), improvement possible for the department on important indicators (down time, MTBF, etc…)
3- software easy to implement and easy to use
4- software allowing the enterprise to evolve and change easily.

What do you think ?

Josh,
I am in the process of selecting a CMMS system for a Forging Plant with 45 maintenance people. Here are some of the criteria I am using in the selection process:

Work Order Fields

Work Description
Priority (urgency; immediate, asap, asap when down, scheduled shutdown, plant/area power outage)
Requested Date
Need By Date
Completion Date
Type Of Maintenance (maintenance; pm, inspection only – vibration/infra-red/ultra-sonic, rush/emergency, corrective/adjustment, non-rush repair, safety, environmental, capex. Contractor, modification, spares repair, shutdown prep)
Type of Workorder (logged in/manual/rush, pm generated, corrective/repair, capital)
Estimated Hours
Actual Hours
Crew (Mach Shop, Forge/Heat Treat, Melt, Auto Shop, General)
Craft (mechanical, electrical, instrumentation/combustion, bull gang, welder)
Cause Code (Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic/Controls, Software program, Operator/Mechanic/Electrician error)
Failure Type (determined after Root Cause Analysis- excessive lubrication, excessive noise, excessive vibration, lack of lubrication, misalignment, etc.)
Equipment Number
Equipment Location
Equipment Status/Outage (shutdown) Type (for maintenance to be performed – running, shutdown, area outage, plant outage)
WO Status (entered/submitted for approval, returned to requester due to lack of detail or other reason, on hold, rejected, approved for planning, waiting for planning, in planning, awaiting materials, waiting for engineering, final approval, in scheduling, active/in progress, complete, closed, cancelled)
Status Date
Completion Comments
Requester
Approver
Planner
Permits (hot work, confined space, line break, etc.)
Special Equipment/Tools
Parts/Tools Needed/reserved for or Kitted/ issued to w.o.

CMMS Functions:
Scheduling (workorders pm/recurring or corrective/repair AND personnel/resources)

Automatic PM WO generation

Batch printing of workorders

Approval chain

Component tracking (allows us to assign unique id numbers to hoists, pumps, motors, etc. to track in-service and repair history)

Optional Details:
Asset Owner/Manager/Operator (contact info for scheduling)
Asset Contact Info (operator/owner)
Assigned To (craftsman)

Those are the functionalities which all standard CMMS should have.
