I've been using a combination of Zmodeler + 3ds Max to do my modeling work for the last 4-ish years.
Zmodeler is very simplistic and a great way to jump into modeling, can also be used to do >Anything< related to GTA modeling, efficiently and effectively. 3ds is more of your advanced / base program that can do just about anything for any purpose for any game. However to do so requires a lot of more downloaded plugins and know-how, this program can take a very long time to fully learn and understand, but if you plan to be modeling for many years, then you definitely should take that time to learn it.
I am still learning with 3ds, so if you decide to continue with Zmodeler, just PM if you need any help.
