If you stick to the lowest common denominator, you'll usually come
out on top. Go for the i386 ones when there's a question. They'll
run on everything from a 386SX on up.
The i586 and i686 ones are optimized for newer processors, and may or
may not run properly on 386/486 class processors, or processors that
are non-Intel.
