If you really want to work with Cygwin, I'd go with Cygwin + X11 +

both Cygwin/X + xterm and with PuTTY.
Incidentally, I like to use Cygwin but I don't like running the X
server under Cygwin unless I have to, so I tend to use PuTTYCyg,
rather than X11 + xterm, found here:

It has some quirks, but for the most part it works well for me--better
than using Cygwin's rxvt that can run with or without the X server.
Basically it's just PuTTY with the ability to run your Cygwin shell as
well as ssh/telnet/whatever.
For gVim, I usually just use a native Windows install.
