My vote goes for the new dx 12.75d engine my friend is writing, comes with shader model 17 and pupil recognition so no pirating. Should be with us about the same time as flying pigs and max3D :-)
On a serious note i'd go for truevision3D, really is easy to understand and use once you get over the basics.
