Based on your stated needs, it seems to me that a standalone info organizer is NOT the way to go. The amount of data you gather will most likely exceed the capacity of those apps. And as databases get overly large, the potential for the database to become corrupted or crash grows dramatically.

I suggest some kind of desktop indexer like Google Desktop and simply storing your data on your harddrive. You should also invest in an external USB harddrive and sync/backup software to back that data up. (I use Allway Sync to synchronize my data with an external drive).
