Default Which Digital Photo Suite software is best?

I'm searching for a photo software suite that will allow me to do the following things:

-Image Management
-Image Editing
-Image Printing (Paper-saving layouts)


Extras (which I'd like to have)...

-Photo Stitching
-Photo Montaging
-Clip Art/Stock Photos
-Photo Effects/Filters/Frames
-GIF Animator
-Slideshows


I'm keeping some of this a bit general for now, but I want an all-in-one program that can handle all of it.

It seems the programs that would most closely fit the bill would be:

1) Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006
2) Nova Photo Impact Pro 10
3) Nova Photo Explosion Deluxe 2.0
4) Ulead Photo Impact 10
5) ACD Systems ACDSee 7 Powerpack
6) Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0


I haven't used any of these "suites" yet, but I've been trying to figure out which one is best. I've got a migraine in my eyeball trying to figure out which one is best for the money. :P

ACDSee I think has the best image management component, Adobe PE seems to have the best image editing component, it's a toss-up as to who has the best photo printing layout component, and Nova's programs seem to have the best collection of extras. But I can't pick bits and pieces of each program (ACD's programs I can, but not with the others).

I'm posting all of this because I'm looking for suggestions from those of you who have experience with these software suites and I'd like to know what you think.

For those who can contribute, thanks for your feedback!!!
