2.11BSD.
My recollection of the era is that most commonly, you'd choose between
2.9BSD for a non-Split I&D machine with some pre-MSCP disk, and 2.11
for a Split-I&D machine with plenty of memory and possibly an MSCP
disk. Lately, though, I think the MSCP driver has been backported to
2.9BSD, but I haven't tried it.
I have plenty of experience with 2.9BSD and 11/24-type hardware (on
real hardware, installed from real magtape), and virtually no
experience with 2.11BSD. One of these days, I want to get 2BSD
working on a Pro350 or Pro380, but that's kinda low on the project
pile.
