I finally took the plunge and bought a F200. Should be here any day now.

Question is, what firmware do I install without destroying my F200?

I want absolutely zero chance of that happening.... So...

It comes preloaded with firmware 4.0.0. (the newest one). I SERIOUSLY would not suggest trying to put another firmware on the F-200. Among other things, the touchscreen may not function correctly if it is not running FW 4.0.0. (I don't know that for SURE, but why take the risk?).

well, let's put it this way. FW4 sucks but you don't have a choice but to use it =)

hehe seriously it works ok, but they dropped more than a couple of features comparing to the F100 FWs... it's only been 2 months though and we can expect some quality community patches soon I guess =)

Finaly, you don't really have to temper with the firmware unless you want to do something very specific, in which case you can ask here
 
Firmware 4.0 gives you touch screen facility and other firmware don't support it i will suggest to stick with it and don't use any skins and fw which are not recommened unless gph releases next update from 4.0 which keeps you in safe side of it.
