If I was to pick 1 only I would go straight to 3DE. If you have a bit of cash spare to buy more toys then PFT would be a good addition and although all of them will do the job in one way or another there are thing you can only do with 3DE and that is the point, it is rock solid tracker but more important, you can do do much more afterwards to get the results you need!!
