Far to general a question. Where are you coming from.What type of PCBs do you wish to make, single sided or multi layer. Will they be one offs for DIY, or for commercial projects. What computer operating system are you using. There is free software, or you can pay thousands of dollars. Are you happy to put your designs in the cloud, or do you wish to keep them locally. Do you want non specific file output like Gerbers, or are you happy with propriety (ie. manufacturer specific)The list goes on and on, and there will be so many opinions that it may not resolve it for you. Additionally, you may find that if you pursue this issue, that in the future you may wish to do more complex boards than you see yourself doing now. It therefore pays to look ahead some what. The most crucial thing in PCB design is building up libraries of components, this is by far the largest investment in time you will make. There are plenty of free component libraries, but in my experience you need to check them yourself before use. You need to make sure that if you decide that your layout package is not capable enough in the future, and that you need to reinvest in another package, that your libraries can be transferred, and this does not happen easily, if at all.Please tell us want it is you want to make, and something of where you are coming from, and we may be able to point you in a direction where you can make an informed decision,cheers,Richard
