AbletonLive is more focussed towards electronic music and sound design.
It is also £539 for the full suite.
Reaper is nagware, or about $60 if you don't want to be nagged.
You want a decent interface.
You will need to hear what you are inputting into the guitar, either with headphones or speakers/monitors.

This is what I do- I use Mobius in Logic and Ableton Live's own Looper equally, as well as a bunch of hardware loopers.
Ableton's looper is actually fantastic and you can control pitch over 3 octaves, which is pretty unusual.
What do you plan on using to control Mobius?
Check out Focusrite or Audient for affordable audio interfaces.

Do you have a Mac?
Because it works better in MainStage, well not better, but it is simpler if you want to build a computer based looping rig.

I've just purchased Looptimus, which is pretty much made for Ableton and Logic.

If you're dead set on mobius looper, I guess it doesn't really matter which DAW you're using as you'll be working inside the looper VST (as long as the DAW is able to run the VST!).
Here's a live loop video using ableton:
here's a video on looping inside ableton using 'clips'. This explains it pretty well.

Why not just buy a pedal looper to begin with?
You are making a rod for your own back if you aren't computer savvy and want to make a computer based looping rig.
It WILL go wrong when you don't want it to and you'll be tearing your hair out.

If you want to do looping, I'd also recommend you get a control surface (and if you happen to get one from Akai, it'll also likely come with an Ableton Lite license..)
I personally prefer Ableton, as I didn't really get on with the Reaper work flow, however regardless of what option you choose, it'll likely involve quite a steep learning curve. Set a side a few hours for everything you try, and make sure to follow some good guides/tutorials.
You have no clue now, but you can learn. How tech savvy are you?

Session view is the method explained in underbelly's video which I linked above. It is powerful and all I ever use for creating loops. You can create different sections in songs and trigger them with as much or as little instrumentation as you want. A grid controller makes try things alot easier but a mouse and keyboard works decently too.
A boss footswitch can be used with ableton live but you need to connect it to a midi controller that takes it, which u may not have, so that it can send midi signals to your computer. You'll want to reroute it to the record button.
