Hey man,
It's really up to you. whatever you choose and like will be the one that will work for you. Every one of us can suggest a software and believe me, matuwa ka nalang na konti pa lang ang replies dito. You can get tons of software recommendations and the ones mentioned here are just the tip of the iceberg.
If you're a beginner, and it seems you favor FL, then go for it. They have demo versions and if you find that you enjoy it, buy a copy. Most SW's have demo versions anyway so try them out and see where you're comfortable. Don't let anyone dictate which is "better" since every one of us here have varying levels already in terms of production knowledge so don't let us limit you by saying which should be the one coz it's more "pro" or whatever. DjShoi's advice are sound and you can get a lot from it to start with.
These days, I work mainly in Reason with Record and a little bit of Logic. I use Ableton Live for all my live performances. BUT where I am today is because I stumbled upon this software called Fruity Loops... version 1 pa nun. I learned a lot from it and slowly developed my production knowledge with it. With the version of FL today, it can do anything your mind can think of even recording. As much as some people (not here) may see it as a toy or child's software, it's as capable as any DAW out there.
At the end of the day, it's really how you push the software and what counts is your output.
If you have protools and all the kickarse SW in the world but your music is crap, then all you have is bragging rights diba? Learn from the simple things and build up from there. You'll enjoy the journey and the knowledge gained from it.
