Re: Modelling baroque/intricate geo - workflow
I think you should sculpt out your models. This type of detail will be much easier to do with inside of Zbrush (use a lot of subtools/extract meshes).

Re: Not Your Average Software Debate
I would maybe not go with the large complex (expensive!) major applications. But it depends a little on what might suit your son. Is he already keen on art? Does he draw a lot?
