I worked with Creo for years, and ProE before that. I still have nightmares about the cascading unresolved reference screens. I've never used NX, but my understanding is it is AAA, though not super user friendly by default. I've pretty much exclusively used Solidworks for over a decade now, and I have to say that it's generally pretty well behaved, and I've never really found I couldn't do what I wanted to in it. Thus it has become my crutch.
Nice thing about Solidworks is I think is used the ACIS kernel. Means it is directly compatible with a lot of other software.
