Pro Tools isn't necessarily the best, but definitely expensive. If you're just in it for fun, and aren't planning on transferring sessions to other studios, any recording software will do. All programs do pretty much the same things, what makes one better than the other is how much you like the lay-out, how the programs works...

I've worked with Pro Tools HD, LE, Cakewalk, Sonar, Logic, Cubase,...
and I just ordered Audition.. I'll let ya know what I think.
