Hello Katherine,
I just started using Nvivo8. The answer to your question, though, will depend on the type of data you are analyzing and the size of your samples of text. I find that Nvivo has been helpful for extensive data mining of smaller samples of text. Packages will also differ in terms of output: e.g. text samples or contingency tables. Another package to consider depending on your needs is Leximancer.
Regards,
Kathlyn
