We currently use Thomson Reueters and I have used PwC Comperio prior to this. I grew accustomed to Comperio, but search functions were a bit messy. It became customary just to go to the ARM (Accounting Research Manual) in Comperio. the ARM is what the audit team uses. I would do a trial of your top two or three and pick from those.
