choose the version fitting the requirements best.
This is highly dependend on your own and your applications needs.

P.S.: There is no v3.2.2. This version number is only relevant for the XAMPP component XAMPP control panel.

if I choose too high maybe then older sites will not be compatible right?
And also why do I always have to set the limits to 1024 in php.ini and my.ini....
why cant you guys set it higher?

too high or too low is equal. Each webapplication has very specific needs.

XAMPP cannot decide which values you need. Therefore XAMPP is designed to run on even the lowest hardware specs.

so can I install 4 different versions? Or is that not possible? It would be nice if you could make a switch to change php version on he fly like acquia dev desktop has

Technically, yes. You can install multiple XAMPP versions side by side. But there are some limitations:
- you cannot run more than one installation simultaniously with the default configuration because all use the same ports
- you cannot set and use windows services with the default configuration because all use the same service names
- you should use the zip versions instead of the installer versions.

Such switches would made the building process much more complicated, so this will not happen.
If this is a must have feature than maybe XAMPP is not the best bundle for you.
