What answer can one give to this question .... 3 different tools, 3 different merits, ....
What 's the aim of the poster, his experience, .... I can only guess ....
Best thing he could do, is try all three and make up his mind .... and if he has problems with either application, come back here or on another forum and ask some more experience underbuilt questions.

which one...
It all depends on what you're looking for. I use live, reason and logic, for example. Reason for creating loops and synth sounds, and exporting them. Logic for recording, full track composition, post processing vox and finishing. Ableton live is (Duh) THE best tool for live performance, alongside with Reason (Rewire anyone) as a bassline generator/ REX player, and also a cool tool for DJing (After you sync full tracks on it). I also use emi 2|6 for multi outs (3 stereo outs), but it's a shame that there's no mono outs from live.
Acid is a neat tool for creating sketches. I can't see myself playing live with it, and I also can't see myself making music with it - but it's quick for making sketches, if you can't handle/ afford more serious sequencing tools.
To sum things up:
If you wanna make 'hobby' music, buy reason.
If you make music and wanna perform, get live.
If you wanna make 'hobby' music but only use wav samples, get 'acid'
If you're serious, get logic or cubase.
have fun

If you can only have one and are just starting out I would say get Reason first. It's a great application and will give you the basic audio/MIDI knowledge you'll need if you want to move on. It's also the only one of the three that has instruments that you can actuallly "play". Like synths, samplers,etc. I would say only get Live if you are intending to be performing live shows. I hate Acid and I use a Mac so I can't recommend that. And don't listen when people say you NEED Logic or Cubase to make "serious" music. That's just silly. It's all about knowledge of your tools and being creative. I've used Logic for many years and would not recommend it to anyone starting out. It's just not necessary yet. Reason is a great app for a beginner and pro and you will not outgrow it.
