The best program is the one you feel most comfortable working with....I know people that can do great things with Wings, Blender and Anim8tor...and those three still confuse the heck of out me.

Then there's Lightwave, Hexagon, Silo, 3dsmax, Maya, and a slew of others I can't think of right now.

Your best bet would be download the free modelers and all the various demos out there and see which one works best for you and that you can afford. Find some tutorials and just experiment. Figure out the basics and anything is possible from there.

Once you get the hang of it, things become easier...but it can take some time to get to a point where you're making really good stuff. I started modeling 3 years ago....and while I've made some decent freebies in that time, I'm just now starting to feel like I know what I'm doing....and I'm still learning how to do it better. 

Crazy alien chick FTW! (yeah....right....)
