I can only tell you what I used back in the day.

WordStar 4 primarily, with Vedit a little bit.

BDS C, but don't have much experience with it.

For straight Z80 code: SLR Systems Z80ASM and SLRNK
For 65xx cross assembly: Microsoft M80 / L80

(There was a special version of M80 that could assemble both Z80 and 6502 
mnemonics.  A hacked version that supports Z180/64180 and/or 65C02 is around 
also).
