I think a lot depends on what you want from the bookkeeping system and what your client wants and also what you are used to. I learnt on Sage buut them became a quickbooks proadvisor, but I think whichever you prefer is personal choice. As far as costs goes again it depends what you want. if you have 5 clients who you work for on five days a week, then if you were on the sage bookkeepers club, you wouldnt actually pay much more than for quickbooks, but on quickbooks you are basically unlimited, so if you have lots of different clients then works out much cheaper. If you go online then the cost is per client whichever cloud system you use, and some are more suited to certain clients than others.
I personally think that Sage is even though it does do some online, basically targeting the bigger client, and the bigger more tailormade client (like the big limited companies, who actually want more bespoke systems), so will charge more, whereas even though quickbooks used to, they now don't do enterprise anymore so they are targeting the smaller, the same as xero etc. A Lot is personal choice, but for the smaller companies the contest now isnt just between sage and quickbooks, their are a lot of others and all seem to target a slightly different market. Quckbooks support though is very good,
As regards which is best, i'd say go with the one that you prefer using, unless the client has other ideas.
Kind regards and very best wishes
