1. I'd go with 3D Studio Max or Blender. 3D Studio Max is very good, but retardedly expensive. Blender is free.
2. Well to tell you the truth they are all different in their own way...What i would recommend is to try the ones your thinking about using. For example get a trail of all the ones your thinking about trying (if you find a trial) and see which one you like and adapt to the most. Really, PERSONALLY i think you should learn what most people would consider industry standard or what the specific studio your trying to get in use ( or just use which ever you like the best, or find the most intresting which is somewhat equally a strong point )...Base on my understanding the industry would be "Maya" or maybe "3ds Max" depending on your need. Having said that it also depend on what you plan do work on, if its games for example standard would most likely be Max, if movies Maya, and so on. That also don't mean that the other software aren't good or just as good, its just up to you. Example "Cinema 4D" it seem to be really popular for its Integration with "After Effects". Or "Lightwave" for Its VFX. "Houdini" for special Effects... The list goes on and on (Usually if not always they are all used in Different environments, Ex. Max is used in movies, a lot) ...Ultimately the software is somewhat only a tool (so you may want to try "Softimage" or whatever) . Its up to you, the artist and your skill. To really answer your question at last (sorry about that) They are all good (some only makes the job somewhat easier depend on your skills )...Its how good you are, and which ever you decide.
