That's really subjective...btw, i am not developer, but here's my "setup":
- cscope plus vim for source code navigation. if I am lazy, I simply
go to lxr.linux.no for online code browsing

- plain qemu or qemu+kvm for running the kernel plus activating its
gdb stub. Then hook gdb into it so I can freely stop kernel execution
anywhere I like

- of course, gcc as the compiler.

- ccache, if you wanna to speed up repetitive compilation

- "screen" tool running all of the above as its sessions :)
