I'd stay away from MR. It is much better in the current form, but still not up to speed compared to VRay and Final Render (which will be coming out with completely new versions very soon and should further distance themselves from MR).
If you are writing custom shaders, then it gets more powerful, but I 'll guess you aren't if you are asking for advice which program to get ;-)
3D Studio, Maya and SM come with MR. But since it's 'free', you could learn to use it and get great results, just not as quickly as with the others.
I'd suggest you look into what kind of resources you'll need. I use Max because there are a 1000 to 1 models available, compared to Maya or C4D.
If I didn't need those models, like cars, trees, etc., I'd probably go with C4D w/ Final Render.
Max is certainly not a good value, compared to C4D, Maya's $2k version or SM's $500 version.
