Depends on what you do in post. Fairlight QDC and CC-1 (which I have seen but not used yet) is simply the fastest for dialogue cutting and placing sound effects. Audio recorded onto our QDC sounds better than the same audio recorded onto our PT HD rig, but difference is not huge.
PT is good as well and LE with DVToolkit makes the entry to market economical. Serious post mixing has to be done on an HD system and that brings PT inline with the Fairlight prices. PT is the standard and most commonly. If you are sourcing dialogue, foley, score for other sources and hey happen to deliver on PT projects, that may influence the way you go. Files can be converted of course using OMF, AAF, etc so this is something that should be considered when looking at one's workflow.
I have heard good things about Nuendo as well - worth checking out.
Most composers I know use a combination of tools, but Logic seems to come up the most.
All boxes I have seen, and old ones I have used, seem to have a few features tat you wished your system have. (I can think of a few features I still miss on our old STuder Dyaxis and AVid Audiovision...)
