MATLAB! Mostly because it is the only one I know/have/use, and because
it works for my needs.

Im becoming rather partial to it. Mostly because it doesn't have the
abusive pricetag that mathematica has.

Try to balance out your need of a CAS system, and your need to avoid
being unable to do the requisite math by hand.
