Best HelpDesk Solution for Medium Sized Company

We are a mid-sized company looking to replace our existing help desk system with something with a more robust feature-set.  We have a small but important feature set we're looking for:
-  Robust out of box reporting capabilities
-  End user self-service options (knowledge base look-up, password reset (nice to have), etc.)
-  End users to submit tickets via simple web interface
-  Web interface for end-users to have easily customizable forms to correctly route tickets
-  AD integration

-  Our existing helpdesk solution is HelpStar
-  We have about 1100 computers in hundreds of locations
-  We currently have a dozen support reps for various disciplines (application (5), desktop (3), network(1), other (3))

The Gartner recommendations are for large organizations deep into ITIL and Six-Sigma.  We aren't there yet.  Other expert-exchange solutions seem to be targeted at the small company.  We're somewhere in the middle and struggling to find an intuitive, easy to use, but robust solution.  I don't believe open-source or free solutions fit our business needs.

Recommendations?

Spiceworks has issues when working with around 1000 desktops.  We've tried it and the performance was too slow.
