Google says the newest code will give you the 'most' information. However, many people don't even know 'how or where' to find that info (or even set it up) by using new tracking codes so it doesn't matter.

All forms of tracking will provide you with the basic info you need to run a successful business. I've found that the ga.js tracking code produces a larger margin of error specifically with regard to ecommerce tracking (inconsistent reporting) so I never personally use that.

I tend to stay with either the older urchin methods (for most accurate results) and have been migrating to the asych tracking on a few sites. ONce I determine the asych tracking is as accurate in core data (the info I use to run a business) as the legacy urchin code I'll migrate to that fully.
