HTML 4.01 Strict for the very long-term forseeable future.

_Ten_whole_years_ after HTML 4, we're just about in a state where we
can use it without problems. We're still nowhere near being able to
use XHTML 1.0 as it's meant to be.

HTML 5 is a bunch of crazy egotists breaking stuff to no benefit. Best
ignored. It certainly doesn't help much today, or for any strand of
browser development currently visible.
