Could you please send us the link mentioning why vtk can't work with gtk ? Lots of people use this combination:

If you are using python there is even 4 widgets already in the VTK/Wrapping/Python/vtk/gtk

and they are working great !

There is no best solution, officialy only Tk is supported (See paraview or volview product). But you can use:
- gtk
- wxWindows
- Qt
- Java + Swing
...
