You will no doubt find passionate advocates for all of the IDE's you list, 
plus some that you didn't.  We originally started out using Visual Cafe, but 
most of our staff have now converted to JBuilder2.  Why?  VC crashed too 
often, was too sensitive to mods made to generated code (JBuilder is amazing 
in how well it deals with you working in both the code and visual builder 
views), and had a number of other problems.  JBuilder was more stable and had 
VisiBroker as an integrated component - important to us at the time we 
changed.  I'm sure that the Symantec folks will say that none of our problems 
exist in the current version, and they may be right.  The IDE's change so fast 
that any evaluation has a very limited span of validity.  To really know what 
will be best for you requires trying out current versions of several IDE's, 
seeing which works best for the type of project you'll be doing and the 
programming style preferred by your staff.
