Well, my experience with OpenSSH under cygwin is very
good. One fine thing is that it supports ssh-agent.
This will work with any process, given that you start
it from a cygwin shell.
For instance, I use it with WinCVS. Starting a cygwin shell,
I run

ssh-agent bash
ssh-add   (type your phrase)

and then I call the WinCVS executable from that shell.
Works fine, authentication works behind the scenes
like a charm.

I haven't seen a package yet that does this for plain
windows, alone.
