(OP)
I am looking into the purchase of an analysis/ design package which has the ability to analyze underground concrete tanks and walls. Please share any experiences with software used for this purpose. Thank You.

If you're in the market for a general analysis program and intend to do other designs I recommend that you check into AISC's website and publication for software surveys and also check out the magazine and website for Structural Engineer as they also survey engineers software. The latter can be found at www.gostructual.com

Which General Analysis programs offer the best plate or shell analysis results? (which I would need for concrete design) It seems that steel frame analysis and design is the only major focus with most of the major software packages. So, I was wondering if anyone here with some software concrete design experience could help me find the best fit software that could analyze both the steel and concrete structures effectively.

In the UK you can search through www.nceplus.co.uk under IT and there is a list of several companies which have a product to suit your needs e.g. CADS, CSC.
Some of these may support US codes as well.

I have not used it but a friend uses ROBOT which I think has US codes and a demo version. It is apparently very good as an analysis/design tool.
