Nurbs gives you the best results for character modeling because of the amount of detain you can model. But it's also the most time, memory and processor intensive method of modeling, at least in MAX. But if you're creating organics for close up on film, and need to model the wrinkles and scars, nurbs rules. Wish I understood more, but I'm a nurbs newbie.

Talent is God's gift to you. Using it is your gift to God.
