The answer is ``it depends''. If you only need a compiler and a
minimal set of utilities to get your sources into binaries, then Mingw
is probably the best choice.
But if you need a more complete development environment, then you will
find that Mingw lacks many packages offered by DJGPP (simply because
nobody cared enough to sit down and make Mingw ports of them).
There was a thread here a couple of months ago about this; you might
consider looking it up through the djgpp/mail-archives/ page on
www.delorie.com.
