I have been using Doc To Help for a few years for printed manual and .chm output. Some of our manuals go over 500 pages with complex tables and embedded graphics, but Doc To Help handles them well.
The conditional text feature is pretty straight forward and works as expected.
Their e-mail support turnaround time is pretty good, although some complex issues have taken a few days. But I've used the product long enough that I can devise workarounds when needed, and that is not that often.
I can't speak for their training courses, but you might want to look into those if help production or their product is completely new to you.
