Popkin's System Architect is a pretty good documentation and DDL generating tool for around $2K. In the past, I found it extremely easy to use.
However, the only FULL CASE toolset you mentioned was Oracle CASE
(Designer/2000). While pretty specific to Oracle, this is a vastly
more full featured product than the others. If you are serious about
CASE generating anything but documentation, pay the extra price for
Designer/2000. Be sure to figure in enough to cover adequate training;
even with my Master's in Analysis & Design, two weeks of training has
shorten the training curve for the toolset by 3-4 months..
