The C# plugin for eclipse isn't very good and MonoDevelop is a very
good IDE, so I would just stick to using it.

For getting monodevelop/mono to run on windows, they provide an
installer so there is nothing complicated about getting it running.
You should also look into getting http://mono-tools.com/ for Visual
Studio, since most development shops will be using VS if they are
.NET, its easy to target mono this way and fix things quickly.

There is also http://www.mono-project.com/MoMA which will tell you how
easily it will be to port a .NET project to mono (if you try upgrading
an existing application) since some parts of the base class libraries
haven't been implemented in mono.
