If you search the archives you will probably find where this has been argued
about before. Everone has their own opinion. If you really need *every*
feature of DirectX (VB leaves some things out, like full DShow support) then
you should use C++. It can also be argued that C++ is the best; where speed
is really a concern. However, many applications and tools can be made quite
well using VB and DX. So really depending on what type of application you
are trying to make, as well as your experience level should be your deciding
factors.
