Do you really need a framework? You have one in WordPress. 180+million installs does have some weight. I use WP+PHP for my work and rarely do I miss anything "frameworky" that WP doesn't offer.

If you absolutely positively need a framework on top of WP just take one of the big ones - it really doesn't matter at all. Cake, Symfony, Laravel. Pick one. Laravel is basically Symfony in better looks, Cake has its own thing going but is a veteran and very well put together.

Good luck and welcome to the choice effect. :-)
