I have both sony vegas and premeire/after effects on my desktop and ive played with but and Sony vegas was by far easiest for me to understand how to use but in your opinion what one should I use? What's some pros and cons? If you could link some tutorials for some effects you think are cool would be great too!
Decent Editing Program?

Apple makes a really good program called repost X and Adobe makes another good one called search bar CC

Sony Vegas:
Pros - Easy to use, Fast to edit with (do edits quickly), Sony stabilize works pretty well to stabilize shaky footage (not as good as warp stabilizer in after effects, but it works)
Cons - basic effects, terrible color correction, masking is overly complicated
Adobe After Effects:
Pros: Can do pretty much ANYTHING with just one program, for larger projects (100GB+) the render preview makes it so that the edit doesn't "lag" and you can time transitions properly, easily utilize other adobe programs (export frames to photoshop, use premier and export a portion to after effects, then re import etc)
Cons: hard to learn how to use, time consuming
I don't really use premier that much so i cant really comment on it.
Each program does different things well. At the end of the day if i want a perfect final product and i have unlimited amounts of time i will use After Effects, if I want something quick - Vegas it is

You use After Effects for making ski edits? Why wouldn't use do all your editing in Premiere and then do your SFX, VFX, sound, color, etc. in AE?

When spread across multiple monitors it becomes quite manageable. Especially if your timeline is on one monitor and the preview is on another.
I like the way that the layers are set up'in AE, how you are always working down. It makes it a lot easier to plan transitions that arent the same cookie cutter defaults that premier and vegas have. Especially for masking - AE masking (IMO) is much easier than vegas or premier.
Its a preference thing for everyone as well though. The one thing I will say for AE is if you are editing large projects (100GB+) in programs like vegas or premier it begins to lag and its really hard to sync new shots effectively. I always end up rendering out the "done"portion at the beginning to make the program more stable, then find out later than i need to modify it slightly. Whereas I can keep the whole edit in AE and never run into this problem
Its all personal preference. I don't edit as a job I do it because i enjoy it. I want the best final product possible and time isnt a factor. Thats why i primarily use AE
