C++ has an incredible amount of libraries. I personally didn't like C++ syntax but many people with background in C feel very comfortable with C++.
Between Delphi and C++, there are more posts on C++ for help and more support.
If starting to learn, go with C++, as you will have more support and libraries (Look at boost, it is a monster libraray beside the STL).
Delphi is very strongly typed language, originally conceived to teach programming and expanded from there to it's modern day use, which is a pain as compared to C++ which works with "trust the programmer" model which means possibly more errors but lets you work easier in the long run with great flexibility.
CBuilder has the easy GUI building capabilities unlike C++ but it is a commercial product.
