If you know or plan to know C++, get Visual Studio. Otherwise if you just want VB, get VB. A bigger question for you is whether to get the Professional or Enterprise editions (skip the Learning edition, it's lame). The big difference is in the Enterprise edition, you get (copied from the Microsoft site):

Enterprise Visual Database Tools
View database tables and views, and modify data in any ODBC- or OLE DB-compliant database, and rapidly create SQL queries within the development environment. Visually design and modify database schemas and objects, including stored procedures, for Microsoft SQL Server 6.5+ and Oracle 7.3.3+ databases.

Data Object wizard
Simplify the creation of COM-based data-access components and reduce your development time by automatically generating the necessary code to handle the interaction with stored procedures, data binding, and data display.

Native Alpha support
Build high-performance, scalable applications and components that run natively on DEC Alpha.

Transact SQL (TSQL) debugger
Interactively debug Microsoft SQL Server 6.5+ stored procedures and triggers at the same time, and on the same workstation.

Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 Developer Edition
Develop and test enterprise database applications with a scalable, high-performance database management system for Windows NT-based systems.

Microsoft Visual SourceSafe 6.0
Use the Microsoft Visual SourceSafe version control system to collaborate, share, and secure source code with your team for Windows-based and Web development.
