I think that in this case, this list will not be of much help. Scribus
can do the job. If you feel comfortable with it, just use it.

There would be no reason to consider other programs. Else, you could
also start writing your own software.

I do not see a reason for you to make a switch now. If you want, you
can learn TeX after this project when there is no pressure on you.
