Terry,

The best IDE is the one you feel most comfortable using.  In my 
experience the majority of professional developers either use Eclipse 
(which is free) or IntelliJ IDEA (which isn't).  Some folks also use 
NetBeans.
Personally, I feel most comfortable with IntelliJ (and my company pays 
for it), so that's what I use most of the time.

If you want to pass the SCJP exam, try_SCJP Exam for J2SE 5: A Concise 
and Comprehensive Study Guide for The Sun Certified Java Programmer 
Exam_ (or whatever the current edition is) by Sanghera.  I also found 
the Head First Java series pretty good.

Cheers,

Neil
