    I use Max with Final Render, maybe VRay soon.

    Pros:
    Compatibility
    Models - you can get any model of anything already built and textured
    Everyone else uses it (in my industry - architecture, primarily)
    Plugins - gazillion plugins, from rendering to special effects
    It's getting better

    Cons:
    Too expensive (although reasonable compared to Maya's Ultimate version)
    No down saving (stupidest thing I've heard of)
    TONS to learn, but that goes for any of these high end 3D packages

    If you are actually going to pay for it, consider Cinema or Lightwave, much cheaper. I'd lean towards Cinema, as there seems to a be a growing base of users.
