I use MiKTeX and find it quite good.  It's easy to keep updated, and
it's easy to add packages.  I've read of a ProTeX that's based on MiKTeX
and may have some advantages, but I've never used it.

In particular, check out AUCTeX, which runs under Emacs (and,
presumably, XEmacs).  It's makes writing LaTeX markup much easier.

I've assembled a few links at
http://facilitatedsystems.com/links.html#writing; I'll have to add
Scribus when I get a moment.
