I routinely compare GNU g++, LLVM Clang++, and Intel C++ on Linux. Each has strong and weak points, I would have a hard time identifying a clear leader. For stable production software, I use GNU g++.

gcc/g++ is free as in freedom
It is automatically included in all Linux build environments and is needed to build a distributable version of Linux
Other C++ compilers (e.g. Intel etc) exist but the code that is generated may be subject to licences that restrict distribution

g++ is the best C++ compiler.
If you're looking for an IDE, I very much recommend trying KDevelop4. In my opinion it's the best C/C++ IDE there is.

Codeblocks is not a compiler, it's an IDE.
Best is subjective. The most common one is probably g++.
Codeblocks is a GOOD IDE though, if I didn't use notepad++ and g++ on the command line, I would use it.
