I'd go with Home Premium. Here's a promo code for $10 off MCMLNN23.

Technically you can clean install from the upgrade version.

Well, compare the versions yourself and decide which features you need.

Any of the versions will work. If it's a Windows disc that is either XP, Vista, or 7, it'll work.
