I really like the Blender modelling toolset, throw in CGCookie's (paid) RetopoFlow <https://cgcookiemarkets.com/blender/all-products/retopoflow/> for retopology and you're in pretty good shape. BoolTool and F2 are also nice additions - you can see them (among other nice addons) here <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ihrQU4LNtC0&index=5&list=LLJtLs1N9rEJHOyzj_G8ynrw> .
