Why? use whatever you like most.

Is it still supported? I think it is dead long time ago.

Those that you need.

Subclipse, AnyEdit, any database access plugin

This is really up to you. The more projects in ws - the harder to work.

You can have workspace locally and files/projects in it - remotely.

Local will be faster but it is ok also to have Linux web server.

Personally I use Zend Studio 5.5. It is not Eclipse-based but much better then any Eclipse-based IDE that I saw.
