Eagle is free, if you only use the board layout, and your board is 3 inch by 4 inch.

www.cadsoft.de (I think this is the site)

The learning curve is sharp. Once you get used to it things go quickly.

Free downloadable version available. Schematic capture and PCB layout, built-in docyumentation and tutuorial. You will hgave to pay for written documentation and Gerber file generator. This is a full strength, industrial grade product. It is not something you learn over night, but the software is very complete and stable.

Here's a discussion I initiated a while back. Good information on a number of packages. Geoff (sadly, no longer a member) spent a fair bit of time on this:
Cheap or Free PCB Layout software?

That´s what I´d say as well.
Once you get into it everything goes real fast.
Even doing your own packages and devices is no problem.
I don´t use the auto-router though. Still can´t handle that properly.
