Remember: Acid will only let you put one wave file on each track, whereas Vegas will let you put as many as you like on a single one -- giving you more precise control over crossfades, etc. I'd probably go with Vegas if you're looking at just one app.

actually i would suggest acid. it doesn't matter how many tracks you use if you're planning to mix it down to a cd. the bonus for acid is, it automates the process of beatmatching so you can just rip cd tracks, use the beatmapper, and slice and dice.
