If you are using it at home, use Home Premium if you want Media Centre only.
If you want to use Media Centre, encrypt your HDD and add the machine to a domain, use Ultimate.
Look for 80GB min for the install and to have enough space afterwards to install other things. I'd recommend 2GB RAM minimum aswell.

Do you only want Media Centre and stuff everything else I've said

Basically, get Home Premium
