If working with a friend, it may be worthwhile using Silo (at a higher cost) as you can better communicate.

3D Brush is a bit more problematic in saving to a suitable file type. Really only .obj.
How is it out of line to talk about Rhino? The question was asked in the first post whether to use Nurbs (Blender) or polys for such a project. I am not sure about the Nurbs modeling abilities of Blender. So i think it is appropriate to make suggestions on what software might be used to get the best results. Rhino is powerful in this type of surface modeling...

Also i don't recall any budgetary constraint being mentioned. CAM software itself is more expensive than most low-budget Nurbs modelers...
