What is the best modeler for making assets for Unreal engine 5?
Max, Blender, Maya, other?
@cj8n,
It really depends on your situation. Blender, being open-source, is definitely the best free option you have. That being said, though, since Maya and 3DS are paid software, you can expect a bit more functionality out of them, the one that comes most to mind is the Live Linking options that Maya has with Unreal.
I hope this can help!

I do agree with @ZenLeviathan. It all depends primarily on what you would like to achieve. Different 3d software are available for different purpose. At the end of the day, just make sure that the software is able to export to the extension of which UE is able to accept. Cheers!
@cj8n Try out the new in-editor modeling tools too!
