I guess it partially depends on how much you want to be involved on the 
technical side (hosting) and volume.  We use Interspire 
http://www.interspire.com/emailmarketer/ for creating and managing our 
email 'campaigns'.  If we wanted to we could have customers on there as 
well and they would be able to run their own campaigns and have their 
own logins and sending limits.  It works very well.

We use smtp.com for the actual sending although sendgrid are very good 
as well.  If you send lots of emails it is cheaper than mailchimp or 
campaign monitor.  Do not use a 'hosting' company as they will stop more 
than a couple of hundred emails an hour going through.

We used the API's to integrate into our CRM system but unlike mailchimp 
and campaign monitor which integrate directly into capsulecrm (great crm 
system) we had to do it ourselves.  If you have technical capacity it's 
not too difficult to do.
