CMuzys comes free with every ComputerMusic magazine:

I haven't extensively tried it, but it looks cool for the price.

By the way: Choosing a host is a matter of taste and of the music you want to make. There is no best host, you have to find the one which is best for you. So try out our recommendations and find the one that fits you best.

I've been told that EnergyXT and AudioMulch are perfect companions.
Haven't had the opportunity to try this yet but I heard this from reliable sources.

I agree with the comment above that it's really "preference"... For instance, I had a friend that used Cakewalk YEARS ago, so that was the first host I was exposed to. Later (when I could afford a setup) I bought Cubase, but couldn't stand it because it didn't feel right. I ended-up dumping it after a year and buying Sonar (new version of Cakewalk).

Best idea is to try all the hosts (since they all have demos I believe) and see which fits you best. Probably good not to buy the wrong one like I did since they're expensive...
