get the trial versions for each (from the companie's web sites), do some editing in them and see which one you like better.
the full version of Vegas is expensive (~$700 IIRC) and premiere pro (2.0) isn't any cheaper. (just wanted to make sure that you were aware of this)
premiere elements (3.0) is also somewhat used here ($99)
vegas movie studio (6) is also around this price too
