I too recommend Solidworks. My department at work is Pro/E based but is now switching over to Solidworks for all files (lucky for me, I hated using Pro/E).
Also, I completely agree with what RC stated here. The switch between Inventor and SW isn't really a big deal, and the new versions of Inventor are pretty similar in interface. The only one that really took me a while to learn after SW was Pro/E, but Inventor is a quick change.
