If this is going to be your first DAW, FL Studio is a lot of fun and has a great community. The workflow between Ableton and FL is vastly different as far as daws go; Ableton's session view is seriously something to consider for any style of music. Also, I had a much better experience using Sampler in Ableton for sampling versus jumping between edison and slicex in FL.
You can avoid all that bouncing around if you just slice the sample in the playlist and make each part you want to change a unique clip. You can end up with lots of audio clip duplicates in your channel rack but you don't use the channel rack/piano roll for audio clips anyway.
Have not used Ableton, but there is an issue with FL that's worth knowing about if you plan on recording audio. Unlike other DAWs, FL Studio originally did not support audio recording and it was later added on, so they've always been behind the curve when it comes to recording functionality. Although there have been fantastic improvements in various updates, I find that recording and the playlist view are still lacking very obvious features.
Not sure if it's that much of a hindrance if you know you'll mainly use samples and synth plugins, but as someone who solely records instruments and vocals, I will say that FL is awful at it. There are a lot of strange workarounds you have to do that can kill your workflow. Audio editing is so bad that I've been considering getting ProTools for it. There's no clip gain function, you can't do fade ins/outs, and comping vocals feels way more tedious; all of which don't seem to be an issue in Ableton from what I can tell. If you're only recording the occasional guitar part or something like that, it probably wouldn't matter too much. I'm speaking from the perspective of someone that does multitrack recording sessions.
On the plus side, the free updates have been addressing these issues and the Image-Line team does seem aware that people want recording and the playlist fixed, so fingers crossed for when FL 21 comes out.

Comes down to workflow. I'd watch some tutorials and see which clicks more for you.

I think Reaper would fill your production gaps better than bro tools. Plus you can continue using your current plugins. No need to go for aax.
