I have and use both Logic and Ableton Live Suite (which is needed for Max 4 live.) They are both great DAWs, and they can complement each other well. Which one you may prefer comes down to the type of music you create and whether you prefer a traditional linear arrangement style of recording (Logic and Ableton are both strong here, although Logic has a more traditional UI) or a session/live-loops based style of recording (Ableton is much stronger here than Logic IMHO.)

If your budget constrains you to Garage Band -> Logic or Ableton Lite -> Standard, you will get more with the upgrade to Logic, especially if you rely on the instruments/presets that come with the DAW rather than 3rd party plugins. Note that you can't use the Scheme integration unless you buy Ableton Live Suite, which costs considerably more than Logic or Standard.
