For DAW work, I use both Realband and Reaper.

As rharv has mentioned above, Realband has the versatility of BIAB (and more) when it comes to creating backing tracks. This makes it indispensable for me. It's very powerful.

Once I have the tracks I want, I then move into Reaper. While I could do all I wanted in Realband, Reaper offers a few things that I find value like tuning vocals, a number of different shaped volume envelopes and sliding of audio files.

At the end of the day, most of the DAWs I've come across are good. It's simply a matter of learning one and getting used to it.
