Following terminals don't need X server:
1. Cmd - the default where bash, or zsh shell runs in the Windows Command Window. The biggest problem with this is you can't stretch it horizontally without going into options. CTRL+Z does not work.
2. mintty - this is so far best for me. good font size, cut-n-paste, color controls, stretchable in all directions. It is based on putty. CTRL+Z works!
3. puttycyg - I haven't tried.
Terminals which need X server:
1. xterm - no scrollbar, no cut-n-paste, font too small.
2. rxvt - no cut-n-paste, font too small.
3. urxvt - no cut-n-paste, font too big.
