If you do a lot of virtual instruments and MIDI programming, Sonar and Cubase have more of a history there. Secondly, if you do mostly recordings of live musicians, then all the tools will work. ProTools + Nucleus is a great choice, but more expensive than V-Studio 700 (which comes bundled with a free copy of Sonar X1). If you like to mix with a console, however, this matters.

If you are happy doing everything with a mouse, this is not a big deal. My advice would be to give great thought to the hardware options. Abletone is kind of a different category. You would probably not regret buying Sonar, ProTools, Studio One, Logic, or Cubase. I chose Sonar for three reasons: 1-bang for the buck 2-integration with V-Studio 700 which made it even bigger bang for the buck and 3-my history and familiarity with Roland and Cakewalk. I could not do what I do on Ableton Live without a lot of frustration, but your mileage may vary. Ableton can do traditional records, songs, and scores, but not as well as the other DAWs. Sonar can do this, but not as well or easily. Ableton Live is optimized for loop and groove creation, electronica, trance, live DJ/dance-mixing, etc.I have not used Studio One, but it has many faithful users and its last release was well-reviewed in trade magazine as moving it into a very competitive position.The newest ProTools release will require studio owners to stay on the old version or ditch their old, expensive hardware, so some may take the opporunity to look around.)

The plus for ProTools is that if you want to take your work from home to a large studio, ProTools files are likely to be compatible since it is more popular in large studios because of its heritage as a 24-track tape machine replacement. Today, it has everything you need as well, but, as stated above, at a higher cost for the functionality.

ProTools was designed (originally) as a replacement for a tape machine.

Sonar is as capable of quality production as anything and will give you more features for your money and the support is better and cheaper than ProTools.
