Leaving prices aside Designer2000 is the best option from your list since it handles the module generation as well. remember that it is a complex tool so training is well in order (it is not plug a play tool).
 If you want a simple yet powerful tool ErWin is a good tool. from your list it would be my second choise.

if your looking for other case tools (which, I don't think you should) look for:
 S_Designer - good for power builder apllications  Silver run - another mostly ERD tool

again, with the right training and the needed time spent Designer*2000 is the best tool for REAL case using (i.e. as a tool for anayisis, not as a word proccessor)

good luck to you
