Eagle is great for precision, but has a high learning curve.

Ares is considerably easier, with a lower learning curve...but requires purchase.


If you are doing it for hobby stuff, on a hobby price, then find one that has a learning curve proportional to your expected use. If you want to use it once, and that's it, then get the simplest thing you can. Make sure you get DRC, though. (That's Design Rule Checking; it looks for errors in spacing.)
