Brad,
I have Rhino, or rather Chrissy does, she is the teacher and qualifies for an educational copy.
It can keep track of a lot of information, but to use it effectively your almost need to know where you want to go before you start.
That brings us back to the bumwad and the napkins.
I find they are still best for formulating a "plan" then sketching and rendering in 3d can follow.
I like the newer tools they have come up with for rendering sketch versions of proposals. They give you a lot more freedom in the build phase. Photo real rendering creates unreal expectations in the client, and puts an unnecessary burden on the artist.
Things that are fun to make are not always easy to draw and things that are fairly easy to draw can be real SOB's to build.
