• FDT is the probably most powerful IDE (in its Max version)
• Adobe Flash Builder is the best option for "normal" use (i.e. when you don't need all the features from FDT; you can do everything you need with Flash Builder)
• Flash Develop is the OpenSource alternative, and is free, but lacks many useful features

It should be noted though that you can develop the same software with any of those programs; you can even do it with a simple text editor. But of course each of those programs offer tools that can speed up the development process.

Personally I use Flash Builder and I would recommend anyone to use that one. While some of the features of FDT Max are really interesting, the price is rather high and compared with Flash Builder the other versions just don't offer really important things (like the debugger). In addition, if you work with any other Adobe software, you'll love that Flash Builder integrates well with the other software, and there are other great tools like Flash Catalyst that work hand in hand with Flash Builder.
