What is the best set of tools to use for developing Silverlight 3 applications while it is in beta? I want to be able to easily transition into the released version when it comes out.

I'm having good luck with the Silverlight 3 beta site.
The beta tools for Visual Studio allgedly work with the Express edition. I'm finding that you need a combination of Expression Blend and Visual Stuido to really get things done (unlike Flex where everything is in the one IDE).
The RIA Services look interesting too.

+1 for Blend 3 Preview.
For side-by-side development, the VS2010 beta will allow you to target both Silverlight 2.0 and 3.0 without swapping installed bits.
