need help choosing structural analysis software

(OP)
My firm is looking to purchase a structural analysis program to model med/light commercial and residential buildings. We currently have a program that analyzes wood frame structures so we're looking for a program that will do steel and concrete structures as well. I have experience using Risa2D and SAP2000. I'm also looking into STAAD.Pro as well but I have no personal experience with that program.

I'm just wondering what program most other structural engineers prefer and why they would recommend one over the other.

RE: need help choosing structural analysis software

You could check out this thread..  FAQ724-1192

Also do a name search for each software title.  I know these have all beens discussed here on occasion.
