You don't say what size your image is (in pixels). I presume it will be printed for T-shirts, but you don't say what size the print is.
Text in Gimp is vector so long as you only use the Text Tool. If you manipulate the text layer in any way (rotate, scale, etc) the text layer is rasterized. So if you create your image the correct size in pixels (ie no scaling is needed) the text will remain crisp.
Your final output is png. So even if you use Inkscape the end result is bitmap. The advantage of Inkscape (vector) is that it can be scaled without loss of quality. But if no scaling (or other manipulation) is involved there is no real advantage in using vectors.
