I've had a similar experience and tried about everything. Personally - eclipse with PyDev has been the winner for me. I also still do a bunch of Java coding - so there is an added benefit of one tool across languages. The final thing I really like with eclipse is the svn plugins - making life very easy. Also, if your doing web/xml and other stuff - there is a plugin for eclipse for it ;) Not all the plugins work as seemlessly together (i abandon eclipse for the majority of plone/zope stuff - most of it isn't python - and setting up eclipse to be happy with the output of archgen has not been worth the bother - I'm sure it's possible)
PyLint can kind of be a pain if your on a low powered box, but tweaking the settings (and I had to do a bit of tweaking) can alleviate the problems, but still let you reap the benefits.
