All recording software... all... without exception... requires you to climb a learning curve, and all offer different strengths and weakness. I personally have found Ableton Live to be quite powerful, but the point ISN'T that Ableton Live is superior, but that I took the time to learn how to exploit it. Do I use it now? No. It was massive overkill. Now I use Sony Soundforge and am damn happy. If you actually bought all of the software packages that you listed then you have money to burn which... at fifteen... isn't impossible but given your choice of a CAD microphone unlikely. Still, I'm not going to speculate any further.

Unless you're exceptionally intelligent there is no way that you are going to learn all of the packages that you listed well enough to make an informed decision. Choose one software package and learn everything you can about it. Invest in the best possible physical gear you can as your signal chain... next to talent... is everything. Software is practically nothing. Whatever you chose will work. How WELL it works is directly proportional to the amount of time you invest learning and experimenting.
