Bundled Apache+PHP+MySQL distributions

There are a few bundled Apache+PHP+MySQL distributions that allow you to quickly get up and running for web development. For my personal reference:

I've heard mostly of EasyPHP before (the others I found from this article on EasyPHP), though I haven't tried any of the above.

I started off using the WAMP bundles, but to be honest (on Windows at least), installing and setting up the components individually is very straightforward these days (all of them come with Setup utilities and only Apache/PHP needs some very minor hand tweaking to get it running).

Upgrading a single component is much easier if they are installed individually too.

I agree... I'd almost always set up the components individually, but if you're on another computer and want to try something out real quick you can't beat something like EasyPHP. EasyPHP even has a single console that lets you start and stop both Apache and MySQL, which is pretty neat.
