Which OS?

Which OS would you run on your Amiga if given a choice and why?

OS 3.1
OS 3.5
or
OS 3.9?

Well the reason I didn't include OS4 is I don't think I can run it now plus it's not an offical release as of yet.  Still in testing I believe.

I just bought this today which is the main reason for my question as I'm trying to see which OS will meet my needs until OS4 comes out.

Commodore Amiga 4000/040/25mhz Desktop Computer


SuperBuster rev.11, Motherboard rev.B
68040 25mhz CPU & FPU A3640 rev3.1 Accelerator
3.0 Kickstart ROMs
3.0 Software Installed, 3.0 Disks Included
2mb Chip RAM, 16mb FAST RAM
1.76mb Internal High Density Floppy Drive
Battery seems to be ok, no damage to motherboard
1 Seagate Medalist 4gb Harddrive Installed (Boots & runs FAST)
Internal Lite-On IDE 40x CDROM Drive
with Audio cable hooked to internal Amiga audio
External Audio connectors work with CDROM drive audio!

Software Disks included are:
Amiga Version 3.0 - Install, Workbench, Extras, Fonts, Locale & Storage
AsimCDFS v3.6b CDROM Install Disk


It looks like I can run anything up to OS 3.5 without any problems based on what I saw on AmigaKit.com.  Probably going to order my 3.1 ROMS, 3.1 OS, and 3.5 OS for now.  After I get everything installed and stable I may look at 3.9.  Would 3.9 have any problems running on the above system?

Thanks for all the help!
