[R-sig-Geo] Open source GIS and R

[Manuel Spínola]

  Dear list members,

I am an ecologist interested in spatial and landscape ecology and a user 
of ArcView 3.3 with little experience in ArcGis but I would like to 
migrate to an open source GIS with an interface with R.
I know that there are several options: QGIS, SAGA, GRASS, Illwis.

What will be the best option of these or other alternatives?

Best,

Manuel
