This really depend on what you are used to. If you are not familiar with
python, and you are done with the devpt stage. I guess you can just stay
with c++.

My favorite toolkit is wxWidget, and I did a class to bridge to VTK
wxVTKRenderWindowInteractor which you'll find:

FLTK is way much lighter and thus faster. But one of the advantage of
wxW is that it has the look and feel of the target OS.
