I agree with Parasolid being the best geometry kernel out there! (It's quite expensive though, around $60k per year + revenue share)
CGAL's pretty good; they've got an implementation for everything but not all of them are worth using. I just got done reimplementing the RANSAC algorithm in a client's codebase because CGAL's was super slow. But on the whole, it's an amazing feat of open source software.
If you can pony up, though, Parasolid is where it's at. Hands down the most reliable geometry kernel I've ever used, and their support is fantastic.
