Doug,

My advice is not product specific, if that helps. The first thing I suggest
is to determine what design types & complexity you need the layout package to
do. Next, arrange with a vendor to personally "try out" their software to see
how well or poorly it does with your sample design. Be sure to test the
various outputs you require, like Gerber 274X (highly recommended) and DXF to
AutoCAD, etc. Factoring in price and support, depending on your budget, you
should have all you need to make your choice. Good Luck.

Gary
