Well, I think the proper question would be "VS2008, 2010, or 2012?"
VS2008 is fast, but it only supports Microsoft .NET 3.5.
VS2010 is slower, but it supports the pretty new .NET 4.0
VB2012 is new and buggy, but it supports the brand new .NET 4.5
Overall, it comes down to personal preference. I would suggest VS2010. However, if speed is your thing, go with VS2008
