I used to use Audacity. Then I switched to Reaper, and tracking, editing and adding a few effects was so much easier, I wondered why I hadn't switched sooner.

You may think all you want to do is record a few simple tracks now, but then you decide "I want to 'punch in' and fix that one phrase," or "It would be nice if I could just cut/paste these parts around," or "what would this sound like with a bit of compression and reverb" and your DAW is limited. Trust us, even simple tasks can be easier on a full-featured DAW, even if you don't use 95% of what it can do. And even a complex DAW doesn't have to be complicated for simple recording: make a track, set your levels, hit record, and go.

I'm not familiar with GB, but yeah, start trying out anything you can for free. See what works best for you, but keep in mind what you might want to be able to do in the future.
