any FEA should be able to model a pressure vessel. Probably the biggest reason to pick one over another is "what is typical in your industry?"

Performing stress analysis and interpreting the results to the ASME Pressure Vessel Code is a very specialized skill - I have seen it done wrong more times than I have seen it done right.
I have also seen a good analysis from the cheapest/least capable software package and I have seen atrocious analyses for the most expensive/most capable packages.
Who is going to use the software? How will you train them?
