If you want industry quality, You Need Pro Tools
Pro Tools is my #1 program for anything that I need to do as it pertains to audio. There is no 2nd best option.
PROSPro Tools is the crux of my recording studio. From recording, to editing, mixing, and mastering, basically all things audio, I need and love to use Pro Tools for it. I believe it has the most user-friendly interface and functionality.
CONSAt times, Pro Tools can be a RAM hog so it's vital to ensure you have enough RAM or you may have to upgrade for it to be at its best.

Amazing DAW!
Overall, it's an incredible DAW with unparalleled editing capabilities. It's the industry standard for tracking and mixing so you'll find that most people are familiar with it which makes collaboration easy. For writing and for certain types of production that involve many software instruments, I would work in another DAW but I always prefer Pro Tools for mixing or tracking live instruments or bands.
PROSPro Tools is a true professional level DAW that offers an incredible array of features and flexibility in addition to it being an industry standard. The recording and especially the editing capabilities are incredible. Detailed editing and comping is the most accurate of any DAW that I've worked with. The built in free plugins are also great and worthy of use in real production situations.
CONSIt has a decent learning curve compared to other DAW's. It's not technically harder, just a bit more confusing to learn. Once you know key commands and your way around the signal flow, it's just as easy as the others from then on. The midi capabilities are a bit challenging compared to DAW's like Logic Pro as Pro Tools is geared more towards tracking live instruments than writing with software instruments. It's also much more expensive and the new subscription platform makes it even more expensive.
Reason for choosing Pro Tools
To work in a DAW that is more commonly used amongst top tier mixing engineers.
Reasons for switching to Pro Tools
I switched to be able to work in a DAW that most industry professionals use.

CONSBig learning curve when teaching yourself. Have to be patient with it for a few months
Reason for choosing Pro Tools
Audacity was far too elementary in capability. Pro Tools cracked the possibilities WIDE open.
