I've been using MikTeX in combination with the WinEdt www.winedt.com editor on Windows.

WinEdt is lean and yet flexible enough. It helps you easily manage large documents split into different files and helps avoiding syntax errors to vastly improve your productivity with. You're able to edit, compile and debug your documents using the same WinEdt application.

I've used it for mulitple lengthy documents with above average complexity and it never failed me.
