    Do you have a CMS already? If so then I'd look for a plugin that allows newsletter creation

    Otherwise, check out PHPlist, or ConstantContact

    Sure: PHPlist is free, but clunky

    ConstantContact is paid, but cheap and reliable

    you have to pick what works for you!

    There is one other option that you can try..
    Joomla + Acajoom (Newsletter extension, free).

    Yes, it is.
    I've been using it for about 3 months without issue.
    Have tried YaNC in the past and Acajoom just seems a better option.

    And how does it compare to PHPlist? Have you had any deliverability issues?

    Haven't used PHPList so I can't really compare the two.
    As for deliverability, no issues so far. Well, I did face a problem once but it was related to the host dropping the outgoing emails after a limit was reached. Acajoom was unable to handle that problem properly and was giving a non-intuitive error.

    What tracking/reporting options does it provide? Are there any visual reports, like graphs?

    No graphic reports, have not checked with their paid package though.
    There are simple stats available however.
