Personally I tend to use whatever's "best" for the job, though with a very 
heavy bias towards povray since I have far superior skills with that 
compared to conventional modellers. Generally I use isosurfaces for complex 
organic shapes that have largely random shapes, and Daz studio for more 
specific organic forms like people, CSG for simple man-made objects, and 
modelling programs for anything complex & man-made.

Generally if I can see a way to get it looking good enough in povray I'll do 
it that way. But pov-people are beyond my abilities (though I have seen it 
done).
