If you like PuTTY, go with Mintty.  It is available via setup.exe and
is my terminal emulator of choice for cygwin.

Also, if you run the openssh server (available via setup.exe), then
you can use any ssh client as a front end for cygwin.  Just connect to
localhost and you'll have a fancy console with whatever client you
normally use.
