If inexpensive is the top priority -- then go with hexagon (good + cheap). If modeling is the top priority -- then go with Modo 301 (excellent - one of the best modelers available - if not the best).
C4D is excellent, too. So's Lightwave. At root, modeling is very much an individual thing. The advice which others have offered in this thread to start out by 'going cheap' and then building up from there is a good idea. You don't want to waste $900-to-$3000 on a modeling program that you later decide that you don't like.
Research and trying demos can help.
