You're definitely best off using the Windows installer — unless you need to develop C-language additions. ONLY if you need to develop C-language extensions on Windows will you need to create your own Visual Studio or MingGW environment.
Plone is nearly exclusively written in Python. The underlying Zope app server has some components written in C. The windows installer includes binary versions of those.
