For $200, I don't really think you'll be able to find anything to meet
all of those requirements.

The only one that I know of that even comes close is AutoTRAX but it's
still not completely stable yet. For $95, you can get unlimited pins
and large board sizes. The autorouter isn't complete (it's pretty much
unusable) nor will it do arbitrary footprint rotation. There's pretty
good support at the Yahoo group.
