IMO 5.5sp1 was the best but I do like the privacy options of IE6!

Mozilla is a very respectable browser, but it still has some compatibility issues (people who code sites just for IE).

I would say what version of IE you install depends on the system you are installing it on. If it's an old box, I would do 5.0 maybe 5.5. Anything new, I would go with 6.0. Typically, bigger and more abundant security holes parallel the age of the release...

4.0 is the worst. I use mozilla, and the few times a month a page doesnt work, IE6

Security on IE sucks. Example - SSL in all versions of IE is still broken and not so secure after all, I think its been about a week since the flaw was discovered. The flaw was also discovered in the Linux browser Konqueror, and was fixed in 90 minutes. Mozilla did not have the flaw.

I really liked IE5.5sp1 but now I have IE6 with winXP and I like it just fine...

If you're using an older machine I'd recomend IE 5.01sp2. If you've got a more powerful machine try Mozilla 1.0, it really is quite a bit better than IE 6.
