Did you read the documentation? What's the problem? The question "what's better", in most cases, makes no sense. Better for what?
What is "MySql database"? "Database" means something yours, not MySQL's... :-)

Please see my comment to the question, which really does not make sense. As it is most likely that you use .NET on Windows, you need to look here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows[^].

As a minimum, you need to install MySQL itself and Connectors. For .NET, you can use http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/net[^]. Basically, this is all you need.
Alternatively, you could try to use ODBC which could further can connect through Windows ODBC settings (but why?).

Everything else is more for convenience. Look the other tools if you really understand how they can help you.
