Hi, here are my thoughts for what it's worth.
For editing :
On PC I use CoolEdit 2000 which I've always found really easy to use. I mainly use it for coverting my old cassettes and LPs to CDs which it does very well (I have the noise reduction plugin) A later version called CoolEdit Pro was bought by Adobe and became ..... Adobe Audition. This has all of the original CoolEdit plugins and is multi track instead of just stereo.
I've tried to use Audacity several times but I've never got on with it myself.
So I'd probably recommend Audition or the older CoolEdit if you can get hold of it.
On the mac I use Logic Pro but I'm not happy with it's wave editor. I'm still looking for a descent (cheap) wave editor for the mac
Logic's great for EQing though. If you can find a cheap version of Logic for PC I'd recommend that too.
Good luck
