I would say GCC.

There is a DOS port called DJGPP.

There is a Windows port called MinGW which does not require Cygwin.  I have 
used MinGW under Windows XP without Cygwin installed.  Works fine.

www.mingw.org

For assembler code, you can use the included assembler GAS, or if you prefer 
(and I do too), NASM, which again, there are ports for DOS, Windows and 
Unix.

GCC and optionally NASM will do all that you require.
