Not sure there is a best tool. Some of the core devs use Eclipse and other IntelliJ IDEA to develop and debug things.

We usually deploy extensions on a Maven repositories (so the deploy tool would be Maven). You should take a look at http://contrib.xwiki.org/ if you plan to publish your extensions so that others can install it with Extension Manager.
