Default Which version of windows to get? Advice needed

Guys,

Just got a Dell Precision Workstation 390 from my work as no longer required.

It has come with an XP disc, but that's only 32bit and the PC has 8GB of RAM, so is obviously only seeing 3GB!

My question is, do I buy a copy of XP 64bit, or go windows 7 or 8 64bit?

The HDD sounds like its eating itself so I'll get a new HDD - anything to avoid there?

What is the better OS to be on? And any links to the cheapest place to purchase would be great - I'm a bit out of touch with it all these days

Cheers
