I'd go AM3 so as to not lock myself to having to again buy a new board/ram/CPU for the next upgrade.
If you already buy AM3 in the future. Then why not LGA1366 or LGA1156? Its not nice to compare it to LGA775. AM2(+) is there for that.

Plus honestly. Even tho people can upgrade the CPU only. We also know that there is something better and more fun ahead in terms of platform that you want. As AMD also continually reminds people. Platform, platform platform.
