 Tucker Davis' SykoFizX software has a lot of "canned" paradigms which
can be modified (although not as easily as the advertisements
indicate!).

ECoS (by avaaz innovations)is easy to use, but is not very flexible.

As long as we are all throwing our 2 cents in, I'd suggest Matlab as a
great place to start.  It has the advantage of being a single
environment in which you can design stimuli, collect and analyze data
and perform model simulations.  It also provides a very flexible
graphical output mechanism.  In addition, the number of labs using it is
very large, providing a wide range of fellow-users to draw upon.

In terms of programming, I have written experiments in Max/MSP,
Psyscope, Pascal and Matlab and find Matlab to be a wonderful compromise
between high-level opaque programs and low-level, steep-learning-curve
languages.
