There is a quite clear description of 'Which version do I choose?' on 
the left hand side of the download page.

However it would be nice to have a PROPER explanation of the reason that 
this path has been taken for the Windows binary builds. The insistence 
that the only way to produce stable windows builds is with everything 
being rebuilt using VC9 DOES seem to be a move away from the likes of 
Apache and other perfectly functional extensions. WHAT changed between 
PHP5.2 where the import libraries distributed by other projects are used 
as is and PHP5.3 where they now have to be provided by those projects 
using the 'correct' version of VC for the builds, and any project that 
does not comply is removed from the distribution? There were no 
stability problems due to using VC8 and VC7 import libraries in PHP5.2 
so why is this a problem in 5.3 and why is PHP6 not even going to 
support Apache unless it's recompiled in VC9 ?
