If you plan to do only Windows development then go with visual studio. If you want to do cross-platform development Windows/Linux then Code::Blocks is nice as it's available on both platforms. Thought you can also for example use C::B on Linux and VS on Windows.

Irrlicht doesn't come with newest VS project files, but VS is usually able to update project files. Do that and set the platform toolset (in project properties - configuration properties - general) to your current VS version and recompile.

If you use Irrlicht svn trunk version (slightly recommended, it's the version which will become Irrlicht 1.9 and I generally work with that) then there is a VS 2015 project file in there. I hope that one works (can't test as VS 2015 refuses to work on my computer, but I'll give a new shot soon with VS 2017).
