I just barfed in my mouth, really I did. Who in their right mind would willingly use any of IBM's irrational software??? The only, ONLY, compelling reason to use that over stuffed bastardized step cousin of Eclipse is if you have to, HAVE TO, develop on WebSphere locally. Which in that case I hope to god you are not using a laptop, between RAD and WS you'll need a bit of ram. That being said if you've gone that far go ahead and get ClearCase as well, it's spectacular I mean it's not like you can get a better VCS for free. I do not say this in jest I say this with painful experience, no matter what some Big Blue sales person told you RAD is a pig IBM didn't even put lipstick on it. If for some reason you really do want to use WS locally (seriously use glassfish or something else locally using WS specific functionality is just a bad idea) I strongly recommend looking at MyEclipse Blue.
On the other side IBM does sell a very impressive collection of software to take you through the SDLC but if you think you well be able to pick and choose you are wrong and of all the pieces RAD is the least needed part (unless things have drastically changed). The one thing that I thought was nice about RAD was the UML and round tripping, worked for Java...CF hah. My IDE of choice is quickly becoming IntelliJ but I still like cfEclipse & Eclipse for all mroe work related dev. IntelliJ is still just my hobby IDE.
