Usually depends on what you want to achieve. Normally I stick with a version

Not really a problem with the Sun JVMs. Stick with the current version (Java 6 as of this writing).

Some say that Microsoft's JVM is not as secure.

I'd recommend you to stay away from MS JVM. Not because it's M$ but because
it's way too old and doesn't support new features of Java specification
(i.e., version 1.4+)

I recommend you not call it a JVM. Didn't MS lose a lawsuit brought by Sun because MS "Java" wasn't?

And 1.4? Java 1.4 is entering its "end-of-life" phase - it is in hospice with only months left.
