There really is no 'best' compiler. It's all on personal preference really. I use dev c++ for some smaller apps. And I also use Microsoft Visual c++ 6.0. Its really good. Another one would be a borloand c++ compiler.

But if you want a quick, light, and easy (and good looking) c++ compiler, I would use dev c++ (link: http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html)

Glad if i helped.

Dev isn't good looking nor is it a, what you would call, a "good compiler." It's outdated and should really only be used as a backup. If you want an example, the latest Dev-C++ doesn't allow perfect getline syntax. If you do code a getline line in code perfect in syntax, you'll still get an error.

MSVC one is undoubtedly the best you will get for free.

I use MSVC++ (Microsoft Visual C++), but if you are making any resources files (.rc), then you are in trouble.

The Express edition of Visual Studio contains the RES compiler but not the editor, so you can still use resource files, as said above, you just need to create them yourself. Notepad works fine since it is just text inside the files. And you do not need to have all the generated crap the Microsoft adds with the editor in the professional editions.

I suggest using MSVC 2008's compiler. As it is the more professional choice, free, and up to date with standards.

The compiler DevC++ comes with (stock) is a converted version of the MinGW compiler, which it uses an extremely outdated version. The project of DevC++ is dead, the last update was in 2005. I suggest avoiding it. The Express editions of Visual Studio are all free and are usable for commercial product use.
