You're free to install the Android SDK tools in any distro of Eclipse
you like. Sometimes, Eclipse can bog down with too many plug-ins
running, but if you bounce it and don't run the plug-ins you're not
using, they won't load and won't impact it while you run others that you
are using. (Hope that doesn't sound too much like nonsense.)
I personally advise a separate installation, Eclipse IDE for Java
Developers, with just the Android stuff, but many others have no trouble
at all (so they tell me) plugging in all sorts of development options at
once. It's your choice. I've run both Galileo and Helios with Android;
they both work very well.
If you like, you may find some of what's in the following article helpful.

One more bit of useful information: When you select a new feature to
install (such as the Android tools. ADT), Eclipse will automatically
install any other features that are required. So you should be able to
install ADT into your existing instance of Eclipse, it just might take a
little longer to download/install the parts you're missing.
