Honestly, i'd say go the software route and get hardware that will compliment your programs. You can still grab an MPC and sample but if you have a strong program like Ableton then you can hook the MPC up to your computer through midi or usb and do so much more.
I recommend Ableton Live because the workflow in this program is amazing. It's very easy to scratch out ideas once you understand how it all works.
For mixing I'd say Pro tools because it is dependable and simple to use (on mixing jobs), It has a great set of starting tools and the plug-ins that it comes with sound good. For mixing and mastering I use mostly the Waves Plug-ins with Pro tools.
At the end of the day just make sure you dont spend all your money on one thing. Even it out because you'll want other things like monitor speakers, mixers, keyboards, turntables etc.
Hope this helps!What is the best equipment to get for beat making, mixing, and the whole nine yard?
MPC. (Some come with CD drives)
Roland Fantom
Cubase SX/Logic Pro
Get that and you're set. and Turntables if you're a crate digger.
I'm kinda garbage at mixing and mastering....
