I second Blackhearteds comments on sub-D modelling being pretty much the same across all packages.

If you have Max and it's a bit overwhelming in terms of volume and complexity of tools then Modo is probably not for you.  Silo is a very neat, uncomplicated app with a gentle learning curve so I'd recommend that.

If you have Max and the complexity isn't an issue then I'd stick with it.  If for no other reason than Modo doesn't have a cloth simulator that I know of, and Max does.

From what I remember Max had a garment modifier that worked in much the same way as marvelous designer.  So if you are planning on doing lots of clothes then that would be a big plus for Max.
