People on these boards think a little too highly of fruity loops. I can't stand it, it seems too kiddy.
 I would suggest something in the lines of Pro-Tools for mixing, Cool Edit Pro for multi tracking.
But just like anyother producer will tell you, you just got to learn what works for you on your own.
