Reaper user here. I have used studio one and played with Sonar on someone elses system so I don't have a lot of experience with multiple DAWS. I will say this. I have spent alot of money slowly building my humble studio. Reaper cost $60.00 (one of the least costly elements)and does everything I need it to. I won't elaborate on all its feature as that has been documented well by earlier post but it works for me and that's why I use it.
