Go with Final Cut Express. You don't need Pro unless you're getting into some really heavy duty editing. Plus Pro will run you $1200-1400, while express is only a $200 and has everything you'll need for most projects. On the Adobe side, you can get Premiere Elements for around $100, which, like Final Cut Express, will have almost everything you'll need. The full version of Premiere runs $600-700 and is a great program, but has more that what most people will ever use.
