That depends on what you need. In general, I would recommend 3.0. It is more modern and has some nice enhancements and is the way to go in the long run.
With that said, some libraries still haven't made it to Python 2.6 let alone 3.0. For instance, I make use of NumPy which was compatible with 2.54 but not 2.6 the last time I checked.
