I use vi that I've customized with some macros to do the compiling
(gcc), fork a copy of siocons, do the uploading etc...

I attempted to use codewarrior but threw that out after a day.

For modelling I use Lightwave 5.0 with some custom tools + plugins.
For music Andy uses Cakewalk, A qy70 and an Emu esi4000 sampler.

Timtool is indispensable. 
I don't use rsdtool unless its to check that a model is textured and
looks correct.  I find rsdtool too tricky to do any real texturing work
with.

At the end of the day though, I would use whatever you're comfortable
with.
