Schematic

If you already use one or more: the one you know best.
If you don't use one already: none. They all have their advantages and disadvantages.

The key factors you didn't mention: what can (and are you willing to) spend and what do you want to do with it?

BTW this goes for all "what's the best" questions around here.
 
To day i don't use anything. I have some jobs on hold. The price has not so important as long as the program has high quality and easy to use. I think i want to try Eplan. do you have some experience with it?
 
I have been using Eplan for the last 8 years.
It is an expensive product, depending on what your requirements are as regards users/ licences, can make your eyes water.
Expect a steep learning curve also, it is not simple with a myriad of rules and regulations,
but if you put the time into it you produce top quality schematics.
I only have a single licence for the P8 compact version which I bought in 2008 at that time it cost around E1400.00.
I have not upgraded it to the most up to date version.
I am a lone operator and I only do around 5 or 6 projects a year where I need to produce schematics,
and with the database of templates I have accumulated I can produce schematics very quickly.
 
I love eplan. It takes some effort to set up (you might want to hire an expert to assist you, I can recommend someone in Norway), but if you make enough drawings it is totally worth it.
 
in Norway they are sells the software with 2 day course. i have a big automation job to do in the future. so i thing eplan is a good choice
