If you code at all OpenSCAD
If you've never done modeling at all TinkerCAD
If you want the easiest experience Fusion360
If you live the FOSS doctrine -- FreeCAD
It's possible that I'm not familiar enough with it, but in my experience OpenSCAD makes the vast majority of projects take way longer compared to non-scripting-based CAD software. I learned Onshape for a class and haven't used OSCAD since. (though it definitely still has some niche uses)
I find the same thing but It seems clear to me if you understood 3d geometry really well you would have a ton of benefit
