I would not compare Modo with Mudbox. Mudbox is more expensive, instable and it is only a sculpting tool. It is more easy to use than ZBrush but limited (no 3d-painting). It is a typical Autodesk product (instable, expensive, frequent paid updates). Modo wins easily against Mudbox. ZBrush wins against Mudbox, even 3d-Coat wins against it.

3d-Coat is a nice and cheap alternative to ZBrush and beats Mudbox easily. But it does not have polygon modeling tools and it has no renderer. So Modo is still more "complete" in comparison. But if you already have a good modeler and renderer then 3d-coat is a good painting and sculpting addition to it.
