    Depends on what you want. Maya is the standard in films, but Lightwave has it's place, too.
    Maya for $2k comes with Mental Ray, which until now cost an additional $3k, so it's a pretty good deal (assuming you are going to buy it - if not, the licensing procedure is much more complex than other apps as it's aimed at networking).
    Maya has more resources online, too, for materials, tutorials, etc.
    Can't go wrong with either.
