How your executable finds DLLs is up to your OS. So if you don't want to use PATH, and I assume you don't want to statically link, then you'll need to put your DLLs somewhere where the OS will find them. That's really a Windows question and is the same issue for any project, not just OSG.
OSG _does_ (or, at least, it used to) link statically. So if that's an option for you, give that a try. The osgDB has some controls built into it that weren't mentioned previously in this thread, so I wanted to throw these out. Look for something like setLibraryFilePathList() in the Registry. You can control it externally with the OSG_LIBRARY_PATH env var. OSG will look for plugins in this location. Also look at setDataFilePathList(), you can specify directories for OSG to search when loading data files. This is controlled externally with the OSG_FILE_PATH env var. So you really have quite a few options here.

As for what I'm working with, I usually develop on Windows, simply because I like VisualStudio as an IDE. My software is generally designed to work "anywhere" if I can wrangle it.
