I think that it is all up to your preference. When you buy the Programming Kit for the Vex kits, you automatically get a copy of EasyC with it. EasyC makes learning C programming easier for a novice or non-programmer, as they can "see" how a program works and functions easier. MPLAB is great for experienced programmers who already have experience in C programming and know how to do it all.
You can really use either way to program the Vex Controller. I personally like to use EasyC, but whichever one you choose is up to you.
