Its a german company I think, and I am yet to try it out, but we are considering trialing it. There is a good package out there that is great for detailing reo if you need to create reo fabrication lists and details it is by a company called "Sofistik" and a google search should get you to them. If you need to use revit to schedule and take quantities of reo, then I would say its a very powerful and accurate tool, but there is a trade off in that it takes longer to model and depending on the complexity of the structure you might find yourself in over your head trying to create shapes or processes that arent in place yet, and all the time still trying to hit your deadlines. Something to always keep in mind when thinking about modelling additional things is simply "what do I gain by modelling it"? If you are scheduling quantities and what not for Reo then modelling it is certainly beneficial, otherwise do you gain much from modelling it?
Honestly at the end of the day it is personal preference, and what you need out of your model. What I have done in the past was model beam, column and pad footing reo as these were simple and easy to place without complex steps and Z bars and L bars etc, and in most cases I can create one footing with reo and one column with reo and then group that, and copy the group around.

There is not a lot to be gained by modelling the reo - I suppose your details are ready to go, that is a plus but drawing a few bars doesnt take all that long. If you are the only one in the office, I would recommend against trying to model your reo as it will just be too time consuming and when it gets tricky there is no one to help you out.

I also think it is preferable to produce as much as you can in one software package this just means your documents look consistent, but you can always import the CAD file into revit and place it on a title block within Revit that way. They are about as fast as each other, Revit can be done a little quicker because you can use detail elements to place shapes, but otherwise it is on par. Personally, I have found little difference between 2D detailing in Revit and 2D detailing in CAD. You are right, those are 2 of your options, however there is an additional option which is export your plan to AutoCAD and detail in CAD.
