3D softwares comparison

[patatela]

 I am courious about your opinion which 3D software is better for modeling, which one for animation and which for FVX effects?

I may be a little biased, but:

Modeling :
Softimage (EOL), Modo.
With tons of scripts, plugins, and a technical department, Maya could make a 3rd place.

Animation:
Softimage (EOL), Maya.

VFX : 
I don't do VFX, but judging from what I've seen:
Howdini, Softimage (EOL).
With tons of scripts, plugins, and a technical department, Maya and Max could make a 3rd or 2nd place.

Note:
I'm only counting the packages I've used the most : Maya, Softimage, Max, Modo. (I constantly use Maya and Softimage)
I haven't used too much, if at all : Cinema4D, Lightwave , Motion Builder, Blender.

Since Softimage is dead and you can't buy it anymore, the most complete all-around package would be Maya IMHO.

Myara thank you for answer! I know so far 3D max and Cinema 4D. 
I am thinking about working in Maya also. 
Do you know if Maya cooperate good with programs for compositing and VFX such as Nuke or Fusion?  

[myara]

Sorry, I don't do too much composition and when I've done it I've only used AE and nothing fancy. I haven't used Nuke nor Fusion compositing rendered image files should be the same. I don't know how much integration you could have at import/export level like camera matching or things like that though.

Maya cooperates with Nuke I don't know what is with Fusion. 

For example Nuke+ Maya: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCzzp5tG4Eg

Oh, I see its great integration between this two programs. 
Awesome, thanks!
