Hi all,

The Academic or any of the other ones available ?

Discussions about the why's of LM's licensing is best not a subject to approach.

With that out of the way, the choice is ultimately up to yourself, noting there are limitations between the various options LM provide.

For example, the Academic option carries a watermark in the top right hand corner and will have less features than the next option up (the Pro version).

Best to pop on over to the LM website, review the feature lists for each option to help in your decision.

The above said I've been learning via Academic for P3D versions from 3~5 with no issue, although I did read of an addin (a Russian MIG I think) that required the Pro version, mostly due to an error on the part of the developer assuming all P3D versions would include the same features.
