SolidWorks. Nothing else even compares. Other programs may be better at in depth FEA or complex surfacing, but for machine design, nothing beats it.

 
All in all, SolidWorks takes the cake. It is the most economical and most accessible software for mechanical design, with a vast range of capabilities, from basic shapes to complex mechanical assemblies and then some.
