Without stating the obvious, 2005 is newer. Generally speaking, the newer, the better and easier it is to use. (Although in the move from VC6 to VS.NET they lost the "quick find fuzzy symbol thing" which I can't live without. I eventually managed to find a replacement in Visual Assist which mean't I could change environment).
What language are you wanting to write in?
.NET 2005 Express edition only supports ".NET 2" as well.

Unless your programming some proper low level sh*t (C++ etc..) VB.Net is fine and will do everything you need.
Don't get VS6, its a massive step back from what is available now with VS2005 and .Net 2.0
Ive been developing for around 10 years and either vb.net or c# does everything you will need and more ... again it depends on what you are wanting to achieve really.

.NET is w**k though. It's a massive step backwards from native code! How slowly can you say slow?
While the interface has improved in VS2005/.NET2003/.NET2001 over VS6, they took a lot of functionality out from VS6, like multiple post build custom steps, the fuzzy class search wizard thingy (invaluble if you have millions of lines of code and spread over hundreds of different files like me!).
They also broke OMF linking, it'll only convert and link one OMF file, if you have more than one it just fails! The only solution around this was to convert my assembler files from TASM format to MASM format which took a day or so.
The dialog editor in VS.NET is considerably poorer than VS6, purely because properties don't pop up in a separate window and appear in a property grid (ala old VB) which means you're running back and forth from the dialog to a tabbed window. Plus if you click inside the control id and then move the mouse to select the text, it randomly creates a new ID for the control. Really handy when you're just trying to copy the name of an existing control and it f**ks up your existing dialog!
Rant over.
