Being more interested in inorganic, hard-surface modeling: I chose Modo over zBrush. If organic modeling is your thing, then zBrush might be the way to go.
C4D comes highly recommended. And yes, Bodypaint has a top reputation.
Once again: it's all an individual thing in the end. Ultimately, you'll have to decide what you, yourself are the most comfortable with -- and which software(s) does (do) what you want for it (them) to do.
You'll also have to decide how much money you have to spend. :sneaky: It's a feature / price balance.
Basically, ALL of the "highend" programs have excellent things to offer. So you'll have to weigh one against the other: and then go with the one that appeals to you.
For "highend", I have Lightwave and Modo. And AutoCAD -- but that's not really a 3D app of the type that we are discussing here.
BTW - one problem that I have with many of these "which highend program should I use?" threads is that they frequently end up descending into an argument. Fortunately, I haven't seen that happen here yet. That's good.
