Default Which Windows to install?

I have access to install anyone one of these Windows products:

Windows 95
Windows 98
Windows 98 SE
Windows 2000
Windows ME
Windows XP (Home/Pro/Corp)

Which do you think I should install? I'm thinking 2000, XP, or 98 SE. However, ME would be the easiest for me to install (have disks right here), and Windows 95 with all the patches and fixes seems to be really stable. What do you guys think?

Werd... pretty much exactly what I was going to say. I like the colors so I went with XP pro.

I'm seriously considering 95, 3.1 wasnt really an OS (It was actually just a DOS GUI). My grandfather's company always used 95 until like, two years ago, when they upgraded to 98 :P. I'm thinking Windows 98 with all the patches and fixes and crap. XP didn't let my sound card work when I had it, screw that. So I don't know.. I'm thinking 95, 98 SE, or XP Pro.

Also: ME sucks so bad, it should have NEVER been released. I'd rather rock Windows 3.11 than ME.
