The Android website itself suggests using Eclipse!

I believe as of now only Eclipse IDE supports Android development using a plugin ADT.
However, one can set up Android projects to work with other IDE's as well.
Expect other major IDE's like IntelliJ, Netbeans to start supporting Android development soon.

Personally, I don't use an IDE for Java development. As the others have indicated, Android is best supported today by Eclipse, though other IDEs may add support over time.
