If your A2000 is short of 68040 or 68060 accelerator with 16Mb or more FastRAM, you won't miss OS3.9.
I tried it on my setup and that was a really soooo sloooooow...I mean slow boot, no background eye candy, GUI is killing machine at all times....
Considering that fact, I set my sail for OS3.1. It's enhanced with MUI3.8, Scalos 1.2 and NewIcons 4.6. With inbound Indivision ECS I'll be shooting at stock 640x512 in 16 color.

The amount of time and nerves required to "tone-down" OS3.9 in order to  put it's performance in OS3.1 class is pretty close to same resources necessary to "tune-up" stock OS3.1.  It's down to user to decide which approach might hit projected needs.
 
With over 10Mb of RAM and a "speedy" 030 it might be a challenge. I guess AmigaPixel has setup which is enough qualified at least for a try.
