I think Wordpress would be a decent model to look at. Askimet is great, trackback/pingback support is nice, but while WP is fairly easy to install it is starting to get bloated. The Ajaxy admin area is ok but make sure ajax is being used to improve the UI not "make it look cool".
Less is more, make it relatively easy to install, and focus on what the software should do.
