Speech recognition won't work on any 68Ks other than the AV models IIRC.

That said, I greatly prefer 7.1 because it gives me the most room to play. My 7.1 install is using about 3.5MB, and that's with Open Transport and most of the other add-ons that bring the functionality up to that of 7.6.1. 8.1 will eat about 10MB in most cases, and takes far longer to start up. Because of this, it will also leave less room for your RAM disk. 136MB is a lot of space, but you'd be surprised at how fast it can disappear once you kill 10MB of it with an OS and 70MB or so with a RAM disk.

8.1 would really be my only other realistic choice, since the other 7.x versions were outrageously buggy and/or slow. (7.6.1 wasn't too bad bug-wise, but I'd rather go with the more-modern 8.1 if I'm going to take that much of a speed hit.)
