Again, it really depends on your needs. GCC (at least the most recent) ports
are based on GeekGadgets, which ads many calls which are common in UNIX
based environments - so many that porting many applications is trivial
(although making them work right is another story). GCC is standardized
among many platforms, and generally something written for one platform that
does not do any system-dependant calls will port easily to another platform
with GCC.
vbcc is vbcc. It runs on Amiga only, and while it claims ANSI compliance, I
don't know what version of the specs it follows, nor how 'portable' its
syntax is... much like elder C compilers for MS-DOS and C64... sure,
printf() is probably going to work, who knows about anything else.
