To answer your question: The best IDE PlugIn is don't use on.
I think IDE integration is not necessary when working with a DVCS. When working in a centralized System, it is reasonable for the purpose of automatic check out on edit. However, I like keeping things separate. I don't want my IDE cluttered up. I don't see any benefits in using a plug-in compared to a standalone solution (that I keep running on a second monitor etc. ).
I am fine with TortoiseHG and the command line for more complicated tasks.

I completely and utterly disagree. Having to switch back-and-forth between IDE and folder view is distracting and unnecessary.

In regards to the "don't use one" response - this is hardly adequate. What if I use my IDE to do a refactoring that renames a file? Without IDE/source control integration, the file rename is made without regards to source control, and then Mercurial (or whatever else) thinks a file went missing and a new one appeared. Then you have to go back to wrangle with the source control to sort things out.

It looks like a leader is on the way :-)
