It’s completely dependent on the developer. I’m more partial to 3DSM myself, but that’s only because it’s used in more games I’m familiar with.
Maya is used in a lot more high-profile applications like big budget films, I’m sure of this.
Be proficient in all the major names. Maya, 3DSM, XSI, etc.

you can use both, i’ve made characters for the Unreal Engine in Maya, not sure about which is more popular, but game characters aren’t hard to make and both are capable.
