Alibre Xpress:
Pros:
It's free. Easy to use after following tutorials.
Cons:
Not really cons, but limits of the free version. A few advanced modeling tools are missing, and assemblies of parts are limited to 5 parts I think, although that may have been increased. Limited export formats.
For 2.5D stuff, I wouldn't try using Alibre. Just use a simple 2D CAD program
