Considering that MS has allready announced that NT will become Win2000 and development will stop on the Win9x line, I would go with NT. One other thing, be aware that their are problems using Win98 on older hardware before you attempt to load it on you old machine, you should check the hardware compatilibity list at http://www.microsoft.com/hwtest/hcl/.
