Logic has been the program most cited for the Mac for a long time.
Ableton is excellent, although possibly more geared towards live performance.

yeah logic is what most people use, but garageband is essentially a pared down version, so if you're just starting out that play around with that for a bit, can do some nice stuff in it

Reason is the business... except it doesn't do tempo changes. It's really easy to learn, though you'll also need recycle for to make your own groovy loops
I'm from the old skool of synthesis - analog baby - and find the instrument panels on Reason really familiar. The Logic synths just look bizarre... can't get my head around them at all
And you can always plug reason straight into Logic for final polishing (whatever that is)

I've writing a lot of raps lately. The lyrics are just OK, and my delivery is horrible. Who wants to do some beats? For sure we'll hit the top 25 in the Billboard charts

I use Logic and an Apogee Duet. Really hoping to upgrade to the new Logic very soon on account of the huge improvements they have made to guitar recording and software based guitar tones/effects.
GarageBand is a great program; in fact because of it's simplicity I've heard that many people use it to create their tracks, then move them over to Logic for more advanced features. I don't do that myself, but it makes sense. Garageband is easy as it gets to use.
- i use GarageBand to write MIDI parts and then move them to Soundtrack Prolocustsloth

There are tons of options, different applications suit different people, there is no "BEST" or "WORST" they are just tools, and the are not responsible of your overall production work.
I used to think, oh yeah.. if you don't produce with logic you must suck, but after going though a few of my favorite albums and investigating what tools were used to complete them. You realize that in reality, the tools don't matter one bit, what matters is the music.
my 2 cents.
