I have had "Recording Software Showdown!" on my list of videos to create for quite some time since I moved to playing at 4K because some, if not all, recording software seems to fall short in some area at this resolution. Whenever my secondary machine is finally put together (been waiting on custom cabling for almost a month now) I'll finally be back on track to work on more videos. Until then, I'll agree with what Wubsie said about recording software (assuming 1920x1080 desktop resolution). As for editing software, you'd have to find someone who has used a lot of different ones to really give a good comparison (not me), but I like the Adobe suite since I've been using it for years now.
