I use Moray (upgraded to version 3.5 recently). If you had Moray in the
past,
you only have to learn the new features (mesh editor, basically) and enjoy
others (OpenGL views, p.e.).
I think is the best modeller for Povray.
The evaluation version is not limited in any way (AFAIK), so you can use it
and decide.
Povlab, also AFAIK, is freeware since 2 or 3 years ago but it stopped its
development and it is still frozen.
I tried 3d canvas long ago, but it was so buggy that I forgot about it.
I haven't tried AC3D.

IMHO Moray is the best. Apart of it, I use freeware modellers like:
Hamapatch, Anim8or, Wings3d and utilities like Poseray or UVMapper.
Hope this helps.
