What is the best inexpensive landscape design software?

I want to use a landscape design program to plan out a garden in my front yard. This article mentions three programs that fall within my budget. http://www.homecurbappeal.com/three-of-the-best-landscape-landscaping-design-software-programs/ I don't know which software to choose. Help please! 1, 2 or 3? Any other suggestions? Thanks!

1. HGTV lets you use YOUR pictures.... and says so.... the others don't say, so it's possible, but not sure... you'd have to read the box info .... I've used one like HGTV's and I enjoyed it a lot.... not too hard to learn to fiddle with, either.... I'd choose that one.....
