GTK+, definitely.  That way the program won't have to start a bunch of
GNOME crap when you run it, if it needs to.

Let me put it this way (since I know a little bit more about KDE): If
given the choice to compile against KDE or just plain Qt, I'd pick Qt.
Don't know if you've noticed or not, but when you're not in KDE and fire
up a KDE application, you spawn many processes, several of them being
kdeinit.  I wouldn't be surprised if GNOME did something similar.
