Some of each :-)

 > What IDE or Editor do you use?

Netbeans + Xdebug for interactive debugging of a running PHP web application

Netbeans for the ability to easily find definitions and uses of symbols 
in a large body of code

Emacs for quick edits, because it starts and runs MUCH faster than Netbeans

I've tried Eclipse a few times but never got it running as well for PHP 
as Netbeans does.

Besides Netbeans and Emacs:

PHPUnit + Xdebug to support test driven development

Subversion to keep track of changes

Command line tools like grep, find etc. to find things in files
