Hello


From your experience, which one of the 3D content tool to choose? 3DS Max, SoftImage|XSI, and Maya.

On the off chance that you ARE a bot; Maya.

If used max, and maya a little bit. I'd go for 3dsm but than again I'm only a hobbiest and not even very good at that so I dont know how much my opinion is worth.

I use Blender, you know, because I'm not filthy rich to buy any other 3d modelling software.

Learn basics of them all. I have worked for companies that prefer Lightwave, 3ds Max and Maya. Usually all modelers in a single company use the same software (as it easens up the license management, and content tool chain requirements). It's likely that you have to learn a new software when you get a job in the game development industry. Basics of 3d graphics are the same in all modelling softwares. It's the user interface that changes.
