I started out using PTC Pro-Engineer Wildfire 4, then PTC Creo. I have also used Autodesk Inventor. Of the two, I like Pro-E better. In Pro-E, I used the Mechanism and Mechanica extensions. Mechanism allowed you to build working machines and try them out. Mechanica is a FEA software that lets you test how strong a structure is.
Looking for something to use at home for personal projects. PTC has Creo Elements 3d modeling available for download, I have been trying that out lately. The user interface is a little different than the other two, but so far it has been very promising.
