I've always used JOSM.

Speaking to other mappers, they usually agree that data input for 
addresses takes 2-3 times as long as the actual surveying. There are 
various reasons for this, some specific to mapping where I live (England).

Why it takes a long time -
1. The usual problems of reconciling the surveyed data with existing 
data and the aerial imagery.
2. Adding other detail at the same time. In particular, adding 
buildings. It would be much quicker if I chose just to add nodes.
3. Adding postcodes to addresses. I do this whenever possible using 
several different open data sources.
4. Working out how to best map complicated addresses where there is no 
agreed 'correct' way: multiple addresses located within one building 
being a common example.
