----EDIT 2 -----

Given that you're trying to make an editor like the one you showed, I'd recommend going WPF even more. My current project has many features along those lines, as well, and we've decided that the ability to composite WPF with Direct3D content is extremely powerful. It's nice to be able to render your scene into anything - not just a rectangular window. In WinForms, you pretty much were limited to one rectangle, and you had issues with airspace there, too (subtle, but things like flickering issues when menus pull over your hwnd, etc). The WPF compositor with D3DImage gets rid of all of those issues, and lets you use your imagination to construct a very flexible UI. Things like rendering your scene in realtime on the side of a WPF3D object are possible, or using WPF controls directly on top of your d3d scene instead of trying to do the GUI in D3D, etc.

-----Original---------

If you're going to be hosting DX, you might want to consider it - especially since it gives you the ability to do scene composition with your UI and no airspace issues if you use D3DImage.

This does work with SlimDX and WPF.

----EDIT-----

For more information on the disadvantages of using Direct3D with Winforms, and the advantages of WPF/DX integration, see:
