It all depends on what level you want to create at, and obviously how at ease you are with technology.
Hmmm, in my opinion...
Do you have any prior experience with music writing with a computer?
Garageband or FL are fairly beginner friendly...
Now a days the difference between programs aren't as huge as they used to be, e.g. before if you dealt mostly with audio on mac's you used to always turn to Protools and for midi on Pc's you'd more often use Cubase... However when Cubase Sx came out it was getting compatible with the audio quality, and soon Protools got good with midi... Suddenly allot of studios switched to Logic on their mac's. I currently have to use Logic, but I must confess that I still prefer Cubase, but mostly because of minor details.
If this all still seems confusing, drop by some different music stores or even Mac stores, and get to try some of the stuff that's out there to see what best fits your needs/budget/creative way of thinking...
