Security choice

You need to use whatever the WiFi network you are connecting to is setup for. It varies.
 
If you're talking about setting up a wireless network, I would use WPA or WPA2. If you're talking about connecting to an existing wireless network, the phone will use the existing security as long as you input the correct password.
