I am looking at a system for assigning refs that uses email and website, has confirmation built in, has ability to deal with cancellations, has the ability to distribute games evenly among levels of refs and is easy to use. Please indicate costs of systems if you know them, that is a big consideration.

I've been assigned games through reftown, which is run by Camron Rust, one of our most esteemed posters here. I think it's great. You should at least check it out. I have spoken with my assignor who uses it and he thinks it's terrific. I know Camron's too shy to promote it himself.
