Sonar 3. It is becoming the best PC recording program. It works with almost all PC hardware and is easy to use. You can even import your Sonar recordings into a Pro Tools rig. I know Public Enemy used Sonar in recording their new album.
Cubase is cool, but has some bugs depending on your hardware. I say download the trial versions from both companies websites and see which best suits you.
