It idd depends on the things you have in mind.
If you want to do things ONLY on your computer I suggest Native instruments Traktor DJ studio.

If you want to do more, you could combinate Traktor DJS with Stanton's Finalscratch.
Finalscratch works with timecoded 12" so the movements and adjustments you make on your decs are transferred to your mp3 or aac playback.

The newest of version of finalscratch (2.0+) are pretty accdurate and working perfectly flawless. Ive seen many in action and it's worth every damn euro!

But then again, if you only want to do some bedroom mixing I sugest just Traktor DJ studio.

A&H Xone:3D in combination with Traktor if you have a fat wallet...

do i look 2 u like a bedroom dj?

well what i mean to say is that the 3D costs 2500 euros,  and that traktor studio is another 250 euros... so not exactly the cheapest solution but a nice one in either case.

 

  - i've asked gary if i look like a bed room dj, but thanks any way...

- what do you think about the stanton/native instruments - final scracth 2?

never used it... but from what i hear is that in any case you need some good needles on your TT's with a high output (like ortofon elektro's) for the best effect

If you have money for Serato. It's the way to go. Top of the line quality. I have Virtual DJ as well, but I feel that Serato is more stable. The only reason I like Virtual DJ, is because it supports ASIO drivers, and you can mix straight from your laptop w/ no external mixer, and includes FX, as with Serato, FX only comes with the TTM-57 SL mixer.
