Just pick one. That's probably more simple than you'd want to hear, but there is no such thing as "best". If you search for the best in anything, you can find tons of posts/articles/whatever all suggesting different tools are the best. That's the beauty of the internet. You'll always find something to substantiate your assumptions, or in this case make you doubt them. I can only speak to your music production ambition, but I've spent way to much time looking for the best DAW, compressor/effect/synth plugin, best hardware. All those things are distractions. See which ones are popular and available for your platform and pick one. Learn to produce music first, it doesn't matter what tool you do that in, if a year from now you end up deciding you don't like your tool you can still change it. Its like worrying about which language to program in without even being able to write simple programs. Just pick one.

Even if you like one, you should (_after_ you finished learning the first) also go through the other alternatives, for perspective. And even though you found one that worked for you, doesn't mean that others won't click even better. The only way you can truly evaluate the choice between tools is to be familiar with all of them, but yes just start with one arbitrary one that seems fine, instead of trying to learn them all before deciding. But at the end you should know something about all of them.
