A:
My suggestion would be the DevExpress Winforms/WPF components, they look awesome, have great support and are quite easy to use.

Hey, DevExpress does offer a set of WinForms controls should you not want to/ can't use the WPF controls.Check out: http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/Controls/WinForms/

A:
First of all: use WPF, they look a lot better.
Second of all: The WPF Toolkit contains lots of useful stuff to create nice UIs.
Lastly: in .NET 4.0 you can create jumplists, icon overlays and stuff like that. If you're using 3.5 then there is the Windows API codepack which you can use for these features.
