I'm sure if you asked on a video forum you'd get a religious flame war. It's like a DAW - everybody likes their own brand. Why would someone else's favorite matter? If you're going to be on MTV then you should get a pro involved and let them do a first class job while you focus on what *you're* good at. If it's you tube, then you want one that offers web friendly formats that is easy enough for you to get the task done. The video world is really expensive and time consuming compared to the audio world so you want to be task oriented. None of that software is cheap and all will get the job done. Just be prepared to learn the interface and the tools and you'll be fine.
