Perhaps it's your wording, but for "beginning C programmers" I would
seriously recommend using only a single C compiler, and one that
co-exists well with their preferred operating system (or the one used
for instruction).

Using "as many C compilers as possible", presumably each with different
incantations and interpretations of standards, would only confuse the
learning of the language itself.
