Hi Jory, You might take a look at Agilent's ADS suite. Momentum, EMDS, and a very cool circuit simulator that reads unencrypted HSPICE decks as well as IBIS and S-parameter files. When doing your comparison, I strongly encourage you to consider how you will analyze your results. The ADS suite includes a very powerful analysis and presentation graphics tool. FWIW. I am sure their are other tool suites that meet your criteria, but this is the *SUITE* I have had the most experience with and they have a great support team. Feel free to contact me offline for more info.

While I have experience with many different point tools the company wants to have a single software company that has a relatively accurate tool in all the areas below: (1) 2.5D simulation engine for system boards and Asic/FPGA packages. (2) 3D simulation engine for Via/Connector/Package Launch and Design. (3) A time/frequency domain Spice like simulation engine that combines all sorts of s-parameter models/behavioral and Spice to generate channel EYE/skew/TDR. The question being who has a single vendor solution for the above and what are your experiences with the software against other single vendor solutions. Lastly and very important would be a rough $$$ per year expectation.
