There is no best version of Kali, pick the architecture that you require and use that. If your CPU can virtualize x64 than I would go with that.

Else use the pre-made VM image: https://www.offensive-security.com/k...mage-download/
x64 = More than 3GB of RAM for the VM
x86 / 32 bit PAE = If less than 3GB of RAM for the VM (recommend if you are unsure).
Dont worry about the non PAE image at this stage.
