Quartus can compile both VHDL and Verilog just fine. It also had better system verilog support until recently (vivado SV support is quite good now).

But if you're using altera IP, you may be generally better off generating it in verilog, as all the in house cores are generated in Verilog or newer ones in System Verilog.
