I'd take a good look at Inkscape. It probably does all you need, is a 
good vector graphics editor, and is free (open source) ..

     https://inkscape.org/

Between PS and AI, you'd want to use AI for EPS. Assuming you're using 
EPS because you want vector graphics, AI is a vector graphics editor. 
While PS can export EPS, that's not what PS was designed for.

However, neither of these are available as a perpetual license (AFAIK). 
Here are other choices for vector graphics editors ..
