IDA Pro for me.

Lets just clear this up:

Unpacking: EXEs are packed in order to protect them from being dissasembling (e.g UPX)

Dissasembling: Taking a compiled executable and outputing the ASM for that program

Debugging: Taking a running executable and essentially tracing, patching and memory modding that application.

Decompiling: Taking a compiled program and extracting (By whatever means) the ORIGINAL (key word here) source code, this is impossible with C/C++ and the last time it was possible with anything really mainstream was VB4.
