I suggest you go for drupal on the basis of following points.
1) Elgg is set up to be a social networking site, which is not the primary focus of a content management system
2) Drupal allows fo publishing, editing and modification of content, not simple uploads by users within Elgg as it seems to utilize
3) Drupal allows access to this content without requiring logging in
4) Drupal has built in permission levels set both on users and assets
5) Drupal allows for the creation of closed groups and projects with controlled access which does not exist in Elgg
6) Drupal has approx 20K user supplied modules and Elgg has 1.7K (plugins)
