1. tdm-gcc (http://tdm-gcc.tdragon.net/) is the easiest to setup.
2. mingw64 gets you a newer gcc, but needs more work to setup.
3. msys2 supports better linking to more libraries, but it also requires 
you to work in a separate shell outside from Windows, and installation is 
separate from just installing Go.

If it works with tdm-gcc, then it will work in mingw64 and msys2. But not 
necessarily the other way around.
