From the molecular point of view, I suggest Orca (http://cec.mpg.de/forum/). On the other side, for solids, Quantum Espresso (http://www.quantum-espresso.org/), Elk (http://elk.sourceforge.net/), abinit (http://www.abinit.org/) are good choices. The VASP code, mentioned above, is not a free software!

GAMESS, Turbomol, VASP, Quantum Espresso.
Depends whether these are clusters or periodic structures. The first 2 are great for clusters; the last 2 for periodic

Orca with Avogadro software can be useful for DFT calculations.

See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_quantum_chemistry_and_solid-state_physics_software
And check the licenses.
Your choice should also depend on application cases and functional requirements.

I can highly recommend you Priroda program. For strcutural needs it's very good-probably the fastest of all. To get it you need to write to D. Laikov (if I correctly remember laikov@msu.ru)
