I like Blender, its free and very useful. You might get confused with it at first, but Its alot easier than Gmax. Just follow all the tutorials they have for it and things will become easier. Also, it can export to alot of different formats, as well as import from them aswell.

You can get XSI Modtool from Softimage's site for free (for ever)

IMO XSI is better than 3ds max but more games seem to be 3ds max compatable than XSI (unless you like converting lol)

I do as well. It's great for pretty much everything, even HL2...

Lots of tutorials, just google search, although self-teahcing works pretty well once you have the basics. One tip: learn your modifiers and UV Mapping seems foreign at first, but just play with it and it will start to make sense. I thought I'd never get it then one day I just tried it and got it.

For free, Gmax from turbo squid is free and an easy intro into the world of max. otherwise theres XSI if you're into halflife2, or maya's PLE for learning that, although thats all its really good for.
