I think it depends on what your goal is, whether it be an application, script, or website.
For scripts, I tend to use PowerShell mostly because it's quick to grab what I need and you can use the
Invoke-RestMethod
command which will automatically bring the JSON response back as an object, making it easier to work with.
If you're looking at web stuff, I generally use jQuery (or similar libraries for Ajax calls).
Also, if you're just looking to test some iControlRest stuff, you could use a Chrome extension called Postman. It's pretty useful for testing REST calls.
Hope this helps.
