For small simulation or few shots emFluid is just fine (but it's slower then another solution thanks to not so great caching system in XSI). For more heavy work FumeFx (maya/max) or Houdini is much better way to go (or if you have skilled Maya artist Maya fluid's are also nice choice but little slower than FumeFx). Smaller work is also possible to do in Blender. It all depends on the scale of the effect, artist's capabilitie and budget.
