I'm using Tumbleweed. I think it's a good choice because it quickly gets the 
new KDE Frameworks releases. This allows me to concentrate on the libraries 
and applications I'm working on while also having the latest and greatest 
Frameworks libraries without having to built them myself.

I think using a work branch is easier. In particular, for other people, e.g. 
the mentors, who want to test your work. Since you do have commit access, I 
suggest to go for a work branch.

I'm also using KDevelop. I'm not super happy with it, e.g. in my opinion the 
Git integration is not very good, but it's working okay for me and I'm too 
lazy to try something else. I'm using git gui for committing and gitk for 
checking the logs instead (configured as external tools in KDevelop). I 
haven't tried Qt Creator in a long time, so I cannot say how it compares. In 
the end you need to find out which IDE works best for you.

Ingo
