My team has always used LabVIEW and is very happy with it. I also know how to program in Java (not robot programming, but still) but I actually prefer using LabVIEW.

If you learned to program with a traditional text-based language, the transition to block-based may be difficult and you may consider Java or C++ (or one of the other options). If you don't have much programming experience, LabVIEW is great for both beginners and experts, and it isn't very hard to learn.

Some people complain that there isn't much support for it at regional events, as many teams are switching over to Java or C++, but this has never been a problem for me in my 3rd year as head programmer.

All things considered, once you are proficient in any language the limiting factor is the programmer, not the langage.
