Most on here would recommend Wings3D because of its user-friendliness and what can be done with it. Have a look at the Antonia - Opinions thread to see just how good it really is.

A lot depends on how much you are willing to spend - Wings3D is free - and how involved you wish to get in modeling. I use Blender3D - they're in Alpha atm with a much-needed facelift version - and really love that, but most find it a bit overwhelming. However, it too is free and there isn't much you can't do with it.

For pay? You can have a look at Hexagon or Silo or (getting pricier) modo or 3DSMax or Cinema4D or what the big studios use: Maya. But I'd start with inexpensive unless you're well-heeled... that frees your choices up considerably.
