Need advice on what project management package to buy:

[Thunderbird1]

Which of the 3 project management software packs should one purchase and why?
1. NovaMind 5 Platinum & Merlin 2? or
2. OmniFocus suite? or
3. ConceptDraw Office?

Does anyone know of reviews that compare all 3?

Which above package would serve best as an all around project management software package, along with other features and functions?

Not as important but would be nice if it, allows syncing with iphone, macbook pro and ipad?

Looking for project presentation ability. Also for multi user project syncing ability. Document updating and full featured business productivity tools. Good mind mapping software would also be nice.

Thanks for you help and advice. The choices are many and expensive so want to make a good decision in the beginning.

Be sure to check SaaS alternatives to just software. Services such as those from 37signals or LiquidPlanner might have just the functionality you want & being online, sharing & syncing is native.
