European flight planning & charts - recommendations?

I am planning to a fair bit of flying around Europe in the next year (mainly Western - France, Spain, Germany but also up to Scandinavia), mainly IFR; some VFR. (In a DA40.)

What would folks recommend for:
- VFR guides in Europe (I use Pooleys in UK + CAA 1/2 mil charts)
- IFR charts etc. in UK and Europe
- flight planning software to run on a PC and ideally copy data over onto a PDA (ideally incl. Notams, flight plan filing)
- moving map software for a PDA backup GPS

Experiences of
- PocketFMS
- NavBox
- Jeppesen
..

Any feedback would be appreciated.
