I don't know, but GCC appears to be the most popular one.

Cost. ;-)

Very portable. When I make data processing programs they can
usually work on OS/2 and at least a few different Unix'es
without any changes. For big projects (>100,000 lines of
code) it is my impression that less than 0.1% of the code
lines will have to be changed.

It is kind of hard to say, but on thing to be aware of right
now is that GCC/Ada still primarily is distributed as GCC
2.8, whereas GCC/C++ primarily is distributed as GCC 3.0,
i.e. with a newer and supposedly better code generator. Once
GCC/Ada is also distributed based on the official GNU CVS
this difference will disappear.
