Agreed with most of the above... Both.I used both programs in courses in High School and they're both highly efficient in their own fields. The only deciding factor is, what do you want to do more?Also, for 3D, I've heard lightwave is pretty good. Bryce 3d does textures really well too.
Who says you have to upload? Just save as an *htm, *html, etc file, then open with your default browser. This would prolly help with the annoying factor. Just my 2 pennies... No offense meant.
