Learn all of them. SP and zbrush especially. Marvelous is good to know for cloth based props, even though both zbrush and blender have some good cloth sim tools as well.

Blender is for shitters

Nobody knows what the future of 3D is. Use them all and figure out which one you enjoy working in the most. They all have their pros and cons.

Since I don't do high poly animations, for non-industry related work I enjoy blender just because I'm one of them open source fags and even if the blender foundation collapses tomorrow, work will continue to be put into it by the community while the same is certainly not true for pretty much every other software in the space.

Start with Blender before dropping a grand on ZBrush to see if you even like it. Just follow a few tutorials.
Or pirate ZBrush and do a few tutorials to test it out.
So really just learn pure basics of both, but personally I enjoy ZBrush much more enjoyable to sculpt in and the UI is easy to learn. I only care about character sculpting myself.
ZBrush is industry standard but it's not set in stone since it is possible Blender could become its equal or even take over in 10 years.

I don’t see that happening, ever. Blender is fundamentally fucked because zbrush uses those magical 2.5d models or whatever. Can’t beat the performance. I’m unwrapping a mesh in blender with only a couple hundred k tris and it’s already a pain.

Zbrush has a ridiculous amount of features I probably don’t know even exist yet, meanwhile blender doesn’t even have a handful of decent brushes to work with. Can’t even chip edges properly without any kind of an equivalent to trim dynamic and similar.

And ofc, also there’s the fact only a couple of people work on blender’s sculpting branch atm afaik.
