I'm assuming your talking about editing? It sounds like you are just starting off, so I would lean towards Apple. That way you have the option of FCP (unfortunately X, unless you want to get 7 through other channels) or Premiere in the Adobe Suite. And if you really wanted, you could always duel boot Windows and get Avid I suppose. Your edits for this film don't sound too complicated and could most likely be accomplished in any "real" editing software. I would be far more concerned with the processing and transferring of your Super 8 film. Research carefully, not all labs are created equal. Though I haven't used them yet, I usually hear great things about Pro8mm, though they are the most expensive. I would avoid Dwayne's Photo for Super8 (wasn't very satisfied with my transfer there). I've had a pretty positive experience with PacLab out of NYC. But ask around, cause that is a very touchy subject.
