hey Larsen. good to see other soft artists still alive :OP

i use maya, soft and Zbrush. alough to be fair i have only just gotten my printer so i cant really comment..
the only software i have at home is ZBrush though, its apparently got pretty good 3D printing tools, although i've not really tested it yet.

i know what you mean about maya, I'm a modeller and im mainly a maya guy so using soft can be a huge relif lol i really love those curve tools and the fact that duplicating things alows you to extrude them... seems like a small thing but its really really not lol.
