Thanks for any help possible. I would Like to purchase the Premium version Because its the cheapest ;-)
but If I have to get the other ones I will.

Oh and to any one reading this, don't purchase COD MW2 intill they fix the Dedi server issue (show your PC Gaming Support for the COD Community).

I can't speak from having tried them all, but AFAIK one is as good as the other for gaming. They would all have the same drivers, Readyboost, new hardware optimizations, etc. Only thing I can think of is that the extra features of the higher versions might have a few more processes and services running, using slightly more RAM (on the order of the just a few megabytes, though). So I'd say go with the cheaper Home Premium if you're mainly concerned with gaming.
