I use both EndNotes (Niles computing) and BookEnds Mac (Sensible Software) and 
find the latter much easier to use albiet slow.  The big advantage to BE is 
that you can load a large ABSTRACT file onto the card as well.  Formatting of 
references is easy in both but importing is easier in BE.  No difference when 
adding to a paper.  I'd give BE the edge for what you are looking for.
