I am doing almost the same, though I am not using DevC.

That is strange.  My work machine has both MinGW and Cygwin and I have not
had any trouble with this.

That's five questions. Which one do you want :-) ?
I suppose that would depend on what you want.  are these graphical or
console applications?  With MinGW you get native Windows programs.  With
a graphical program on Cygwin you would be using X11.  Since my programs
are graphical and I like the idea of having a native Windows program, I
am using MinGW with gtkmm and glade to develop the GUIs.
