Slush's build is the official one, so there are only two options.

FlatFly's latest version is not totally up-to-date I would recommend the official build at this point.

I see there are 3

The main one:
http://electrum.org/download.html
Flatfly's:
http://dre.natverk.org/elecwin.htm
Slush's:
http://electrum.bitcoin.cz/download/

The main one started without installing.
Flatfly's installed python and some other stuff, looked a little nicer but was essentially identical. The "theme" submenu bug was fixed.
Slush's seems to be identical to the main version.

I ran all 3 through virus total, both the main version and slush's gave the following report:

Never heard of "the hacker" or K7 antivirus, and i got no idea why one version of trendmicro would say its a trojan and not the other. Either way flatfly's version must be different enough not to trigger this (non-portable?). Is there any real difference between the versions? Which one is actually audited by other programmers?
