There's really no best animating software it depends on preferences.Many people prefer maya but i like 3ds max because you can work with quads and triangles and n-gons. Also I think you mean character creation (poly modeling).

3ds max and maya - You can create characters and do simple animations .

Motionbuilder- When you create characters in 3ds max and/or Maya you can bring them into motionbuilder and you can do advanced animations.

Zbrush- I also recommend you learn Zbrush a very good sculpting programs you can bring stuff in from 3ds max or maya and detail them to look more realistic. Zbrush also made many sculpting programs like Mudbox a lot easier to learn.
