Anyone already compared prices and features between c4d, modo, lw and the like?

I'm searching for a reliable tool which works together with A7 nicely without having to use 10 converter tools inbetween.
I'm especially concerned about animation, skins and unwrapping.
Still this tool should be flexible enough to be usable with other engines as well.

Has anyone made such a list already? 'Im quite out of business concerning modeling, so I can barely judge the advantages and disadvantages of each tool.

If heard of the combination of free Truespace + Ultimate Unwrap which is suppsoed to offer a great deal - is it really that good? I'm searching for experiences.

Thanks in advance for opinions and sorry for more or less hijacking this thread.
