Mario,
	I am currently using Altium Designer and I find it very easy to
use. I don't do extremely difficult boards but I have never run into
anything it can't do easily. Altium also has a lot of "How to's" on the
website to help you when you run in to problems. 
	
I just hope that you can take the opinion of a lurker.

Mario,

I like Expedition myself. The Autoactive feature takes
some getting used to (I'm a former boardstation user)
but after that, it's a great peice of software. I'm
using DxDesigner in my current job, it's pretty easy
to learn. Functionally proficient in a day or less.

Best Regards;
Tom Garman
