There is no way we can tell you what DAW is best.
What car is best for you?
What shoes are best for you?
What cell phone is best for you?
Im general they all do the same thing. They just focus on certain abilities more than others.
Once VST's are added all DAW become nearly identical.
FL Studio:
Fast and relatively simple. Great for producing a beat.
Overused presets and poor mixing set up/ features.
Logic:
Great stock sounds. Good for mixing
Must buy an expensive MAC to use it.
ProTools:
Most widely used. Best for mixing multiple instruments and live use.
Expensive. Bad customer service and response.
Cubase:
Partners with Yamaha (motif etc....) Great features. King of midi.
Sonar: Loaded with the best stock VST, Mixing and Channel Strips
partners with Roland (fantom....etc....)
Crashes more than most. Very cluttered.
Studio One:
Light on CPU. Possibly the best traditional work flow.
Not the strongest with stock sounds/editing tools.
Reason:
Almost impossible to crash. Best for sound design. Good stock sounds. Open source user community. Great stock tools/sounds.
Ableton:
Perfect for remixes and live performance. Brilliant drum rack.
Awkward work flow
Slow work flow. Almost every thing is done manually to mimic an actual studio environment.
