I would recommend the latest Samba 3.0.x because:

* 3.0 uses a newer schema which would rpevent you from having to
  change the directory entrties later
* 2.2 is not being developed anymore

The caveat is that all Samba DC's must be particpating as DC's
in the same domain since the 3.0 sambaSamAccount stores the user's full
SID in the directory.
