Completely agree with Joseph. Don't base your decision on a cloth simulator or hair and fur as I don't think you can get these things into Torque (could be wrong about the fur stuff). Like Joseph said, if you have both you might as well use them. I have heard that people prefer Maya when it comes to animation but that they actually prefer to construct their static mesh in another program.

Blender has a really good dts exporter with the best available support, thanks to Joseph Greenawalt ;) and all the tools you could need/use to build models for TGEA. Crossplatform, open source and free as it is, I think it is just the best option out there for you, further more if you are already accustomed to it and you like it...
