Try various apps to find what is best FOR YOU :)
there is no "Best" there is only *what you like to use!

For me, I love Vue I also have Lightwave, XSI, Rhino + Maxwell.
I just preffer Vue, it's far more pleasant to use, and it can import poser files, though every new poser update screws it up imports for most apps, grrr!!!
I have thought about importing Poser into Maxwell studio, but ...ugh....wouldn't be easy, lol.

this is a Maxwell render, not meant ot be "artistic" just testing a ship I was building, love the way it helps me visualize what I'm working on and show faults too
Poser doesn't even come close to the ability of Maxwell. But Maxwell's a right pain to sort materials out
