Which viewport suggestion?

There seem to be several:

<meta name="viewport" content="width=320" />
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0" />
<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=false" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=560" />

and even perhaps

<meta name="viewport" content="maximum-scale=2.0" />

Or something like that.

So, I don't have an iPhone, but I am trying to make my web app iPhone
friendly, and I think this should be done, I have made a page that
takes the querystring and puts it into meta viewport tags.

So, for instance

http://www.timeeclipse.com/viewport.asp?width=320

Will put

<meta name="viewport" content="width=320" />

in there.  Feel free to test various combinations.  And please post
the results and any feedback.
