Vista was a flop because of OEM marketing inadequate hardware as supporting it.

I had a reasonably competent machine, and Vista worked great on it from the day I switched (summer '07, only a few months after it released).

Making the comments others have said about your choice to exclude Vista as a viable option even stronger.

On most metrics of performance Vista was a big downgrade from XP, regardless of your hardware.
