Visual C++ is the IDE, C++ the language… Use the language you want, there is no best language…
I would go for the .NET platform if you start something new, there you can use any language that targets the platform (Managed C++, C#, VB.NET, J# …) and interoperability with native code is great + support for DirectX is provided too.
EDIT:
You want to develop for the Win32 platform, are you serious? I would not start projects for a slowly dying platform now…
