Don't forget Pro/Engineer! But most important, if you need to decide for a group of users within your company, then make sure your users love to work with the tool. What we did is at some point, we did get a couple of companies in to do a demonstration, and to make something (simple) during a life demo of stuff we made. Let the companies know at hand because sometime they just send a sales men that never worked with the tool he sells. Then we let our users decide. (Obvious the initial tools we pocked did meet our requirements).
