Well my advice is, do your homework,choose one and stick with it.Otherwise you'll be like me...confused with 3 different softwares and still trying to learn another one.
There are many too choose from, its finding out which one is for you. Whether you want something inexpensive or expensive.
Heres a few that work with Windows 2000 For "mixing, recording, eq'ing, effecting" ro Tools LE 5.1.1 (w/ Digi 001)
:Cakewalk Sonar (Producer Recording / Home)
:Cubase SE / SL
:Tracktion 2
:Abelton LIVE
I always have to tell people to go w/ Tracktion2, it's simplicity and features make it very powerful and fast paced. Also if you go to the KVR forums to suggest a fix or feature the developer of the program will usually be the one to respond to you.. doesn't get any better than that.
What's the best vehicle for off-road, going to the store to get milk, towing a camper, taking the kids to school, hauling lumber, commuting in traffic, drag racing and gets good gas mileage - that can be still driven on a standard driver's license?

honestly you can get demos for almost everything out there.
the sony demos are great.. acid, vegas and sound forge.
all fully functional 30 days.
sonar has a demo but its not fully functional.
go download some!
don't listen to these guys saying there is no "best" .. there is a best.. its out there.. just like there is probably a best blanket sitting on your bed.
