I'd say Transitional. We don't gain anything with Strict, we would  
probably have similar issues with IE6 like we would have with XHTML,  
we won't have to rewrite anything (at least not much) of the current  
markup if using Transitional, and it makes more sense to directly skip  
to HTML5 instead.
