I like ActiveState Komodo; it's kind of a pain to set up the remote
debugger, but it works OK once you do. I typically just check it into
SVN (which integrates into Komodo) and then update a working copy on the
dev server with my changes... makes it pretty easy and safe since you
can always get back to any previous version if something goes wrong.
You can even set it up to automatically update the dev server copy on
check-in if you don't want to keep an SSH window open.
Komodo is cross-platform but based on the Mozilla platform rather than
Java (with a native editing widget) which I find makes it a bit snappier
than the java-based Zend studio. Zend studio has an easier debugger,
though - although it's a little less stable in my experience.
You should try both zend and komodo (both have trial versions) and see
which you like better.

version than I am using it seems)
