Try a bunch. Personally I prefer Firefox, but Google Chrome is gaining a lot of support rather quickly as well.

Firefox is the "better" browser by all the benchmarks that I've seen and has access to hundreds of great and not-so-great addons to make your web experience better in various ways.

I use IE8, but at the end of the day it's up to you as to which browser you choose to use. It's really a matter of which one you feel more comfortable and familiar with.

Use whatever you like. I prefer FF as I use it in both Windows and Linux and I have grown attached to a few of the plug-ins that I use.
