Which DTD version should I use?

I am learning (X)HTML and am also trying to be strict re the web standards, so basically I will be programming using XHTML. But should I use the DTD HTML 4.01 Strict, or XHTML 1.0 strict, or some other? Or does it not matter which.

XHTML Strict should have an XHTML Strict Doc Type. Etc etc etc...

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

Just realised that my post sounds rather silly. The book I am reading left me in doubt of the obvious. Cheers MooJoo for confirming.

If you're just starting out with XHTML use XHTML 1.0 Transitional. It is a lot more forgiving and will help you get to grips with the fundamentals. When you're happy with those move on to using XHTML 1.0 Strict.
