Lisa,
PuTTY, the excellent freeware terminal emulator, has a patched version that works excellently with Cygwin. I used RXVT before finding PuTTY, but now use PuTTY exclusively with Cygwin.
PuTTY has no tabbed interface (yet) but there is a fork of PuTTY, called KiTTY, which supports tabs and reportedly runs under Cygwin.
PuTTY is available here:
http://code.google.com/p/puttycyg/
KiTTY's home page is here:
http://www.9bis.net/kitty/?page=Welcome&zone=en
KiTTY add-ons so that it works with Cytgwin are here:
