Most current Arduino/Marlin/Repetier/Windows7 version combo

Been a while (6 months) since I used my Folgertech i3 Acrylic. Having to start anew as my old computer was stolen. I'm using Windows 7 and was wondering which is the best Arduino/Marlin/RepetierHost firmware combination. I have a 2004 LCD screen and would like to use it. Trying to remember which versions I was using before...not sure. Any help would be great. Thanks

Otherwise it's what works best for you: time and budget.

I'm using; Repetier Host v1.6.2 with the Cura embedded slicer mostly. I use Win 8.1 and generate the Gcode on that computer.

Then I upload it to a RPI 3 over wifi (which I put a $5 PS3 camera on) and print from browser interface. {best $45 spent to date}

Firmware Marlin (I used Therippa's version [github.com]).

With the Folgertech you have the advantage that since that is what it 'shipped' with, that is what a lot of people use and have contributed to.
Easier to not reinvent the wheel, imo.

But many people swear by other softwares, so idk? I personally like the ability to clone someone else's settings and get printing (making small tweaks).
I have not had the time or money to try these other people's suggestions.
